The National Championships serves as the crown jewel of USTA
Junior Team Tennis as the nation’s top teams compete for the
title. Each year the USTA crowns a national champion in two age
divisions (14U and 18U) in both the Intermediate and Advanced play
divisions.
“The National Championships are a yearly capstone event where
every team has had a similar yet different path to make it to the event
through their respective sections,” said Matt Barnhart, National
Manager for USTA Junior Team Tennis. “The players really enjoy the
competition aspect as well as getting the chance to bond with other
players from all over the country on and off the court.”
This is the fifth year the Cayce Tennis Center played host to the
USTA Junior Team Tennis National Championships. In addition, a
second tennis facility, the Lexington County Tennis Complex, also
was utilized to serve the hundreds of players competing.
“Every year we look forward to having so many young people and
their families coming to our international award-winning tennis and
fitness facility in Cayce,” said Cayce Mayor Elise Partin. “Many of our
Cayce residents and residents across the Midlands use this facility on
a daily basis, and we couldn’t be happier to share it with players and
families from around the country for the National Championships.”
Established in 1991, USTA Junior Team Tennis provides youth
with all of the health and social benefits of tennis in a coed, fun and
competitive team environment — all while allowing participants to
compete with and against individuals of similar ages and skill levels. ■
