May 31 – July 28 (Summer Practice begin May 30- Matches begin June 1 & 2)
Please read carefully!
GKTA will offer 2 tracks of play this summer. One is the usual JTT that we normally play. The other is an advancing league that requires that a team be comprised of 3 girls and 3 boys due to a different format, and these teams can choose to go to the state tournament in Murfreesboro. We have not fielded an advancing team for the past few years, but I am happy to have both tracks if interest exists. The advancing 10, 12, 14, and 18’s matches will be on Tuesdays; 8’s will be at normal time. Non-advancing schedule is on the following page.
Divisions will be split by age group as well as ability. The age groups we plan to field are 18 & under B, 14 & under B & C, 12 & under B & C, 10 & under, and 8 & under. Matches will start June 1 & 2. If there are not enough players for a certain team, those players will be put on the next appropriate team. Your age group is determined by your age as of 8-31-23.
The 8’s will play with the yellow nets (36-foot court) & red low-compression balls. The 10’s will play on a 60-foot court (green lines) with orange low compression balls. The 12 B & C matches will use the “green dot” lower compression balls; 14’s and 18’s use adult regulation balls.
The 12’s, 14’s, and 18’s matches will consist of 4 singles and 2 doubles matches. The 8’s and 10’s will play 2 singles and 2 doubles.
There will not be matches the week of July 4 (July 5 & 6). This will be a make-up week. Practices will be held the week of the 4th.
