Each summer, juniors from around the USTA/MW Section represent their district in an exciting team competition. Match play consists of a round-robin format throughout the weekend & concludes with the top teams advancing to the championship match. CDTA players are cho-
sen from our Super Excellence Programs. More pictures inside.
The 2014 event brought 9 of the 14 Districts together to compete in Lansing, Michigan on May 17 - 18, 2014. Competition was held in the Women’s 35, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, and 75 divisions and in the Men’s 35, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70 divisions. Chicago took first place scoring 454 District points; Central Indiana in second place with 416 District points and SEMTA in third with 412 District points. Friday night, the players received a gift at registration and were able to test the newest racquets at our Wilson Demo Night. We avoided major rainfall on Saturday with only two short periods of rain, one of which never stopped play. Saturday evening, friends and teammates enjoyed each other’s company and had a great dinner at the banquet. Sunday was beautiful and was in the mid 60’s. Of course we can’t forget about the many rounds of tennis! More pictures on page 9.

“Kids who see adults
behaving in a sportsmanlike
way gradually come to
understand that the real
winners in sports and in life
itself are those who know
how to persevere and to
behave with dignity - whether
they win or lose a game.”
Parents: Set the example for your kids by creating a positive & encouraging environment.
Players: Handle victory and defeat with grace & dignity & treat opponents with fairness & courtesy.
Coaches: Stress importance of Sportsmanship as highly as the development of strokes & strategy.

USTA Jr. Team Tennis brings kids 11-18 years old together in teams to play singles, doubles and mixed doubles against
other teams. It promotes social skills and important values by fostering a spirit of cooperation and unity, as well as individ-
ual self-growth. Also, it’s a fun environment for kids in which they learn that succeeding is really more about how they play
the game – win or lose. Visit the USTA Jr. Team Tennis area on the left side of our web site.
