“A great fun way to introduce your child to Youth Tennis Tournaments without all the pressure!”
Join our Youth/Junior Tennis Facebook page here
JerseyTennis.net is a group of tennis lovers that play just for the love of the game. We have successfully run LOADS of adult tournaments as can be seen here. Some of us started as youngsters, loads of us started later in life. One thing we ALL have in common is just the “love of the game”.
All Youth Tournaments are “Open Play” meaning, players (parents) agree on a mutually agreeable time and location to meet and play.

Our youth tournaments are geared for the young players that are just starting out and want to challenge themselves against some of their peers. These are not strict competitive tournaments (like the USTA) these are more directed to players just starting and want to get the feel of how they rate amongst other players in the same age bracket. (FUN TOURNAMENTS ANOTHERWORDS). Our goal is to give your child a fun introduction to a little competitive tennis.
