10 & Under Tennis (10U) is our Junior Circuit Tournaments. The tournaments use a non-elimination, round-robin draw format so you can gain match experience in a tournament setting and then see your individual results.

Green ball tournaments are one-day events. Match play lasts 3-5 hours and will utilize a "Round Robin" format. Tournaments can be co-ed or single gender. Players will receive 100 Net Generation PlayTracker "play points" when they participate in a green ball tournament as well as Net Generation PlayTracker "win points" for winning singles (100 points) and doubles (50 points) matches. Players are capped at 500 points per green ball event.
Players must be at least 5 years old to play in a USTA competitive program and will graduate from the Net Generation PlayTracker at the age of 11, on the first day of their birthday month.
Here are our ball color requirements for each age group:
Players must complete PlayTracker points to “graduate” to the next ball color:
Players 7 and 8 years old that reach 1,000 play points in orange ball are eligible for green ball. A coach assessment is also available for players 7 or 8 years old who have the skills to advance to green ball early.
All players in green ball will be required to meet 1500 points on the PlayTracker in order to play in yellow ball events while 10 and under. At least 1000 of these points must come from win points. At age 11 players will age out of the PlayTracker.

Parents and players aged 5-10 can use the Net Generation PlayTracker to navigate their progress.
Through PlayTracker — which is in alignment with the American Development Model (ADM) framework — players collect points after playing in USTA Team Challenges, USTA Junior Team Tennis, and USTA Junior Circuit programs.
Using this point system, the USTA aims to create a positive early experience for all athletes and maximize their full potential.
