Sign-ups open for Jr. Team Tennis leagues

The United States Tennis Association’s Ventura County Section announced that sign-ups are open for its Jr. Team Tennis fall leagues that will start Sept. 27.

Jr. Team Tennis is a recreational tennis league for boys and girls ages 8 to 18. The program was established in 1991 to provide youth with the health and social benefits of tennis in a fun and competitive team environment.

More than 60,000 participants across the United States play against individuals of similar skill and age levels.

The program has four age divisions: 10 and under, 12 and under, 14 and under, and 18 and under. For the 14- and 18-year-old divisions, players are placed in one of two skill categories, intermediate or advanced, using the National Tennis Rating Program.

For more information on playing on a team or on coaching or managing a team, call Frank Bonvino, commissioner, at (818) 991-9811 or e-mail fabonvino@sbcglobal.net.
