League Rules
- A team match consists of one boys and one girls singles, one boys and
one girls doubles, and one mixed doubles.
- Scoring is a regular set to 6 games, win by two. At 6-6 in the set, a
tie-breaker will be played. The tie-breaker used is a set breaker, first
to seven. The only difference is you win by one, meaning at 6-6 you will
only play one more point (sudden death).
- Court dimension is 60’ x 21’ feet, played inside of a regular court.
All matches will be played at Petersburg Racquet Club at 4:00 p.m.
- The ball used is low compression, either Penn Star Balls or Wilson EZ
Swing. Racket size is 25” or less. If needed, PRC has loaner rackets.
- Points can be started with an overhand serve, or underhand serve. All
underhand serves must be hit in the air. A drop hit (letting the ball
bounce first) is not considered a legal serve in tennis.
- Court monitors - will be used to make sure the kids keep the score
correctly and are calling fair lines. Adults or older junior players may
be used as court monitors. Major emphasis will be on sportsmanship first,
not winning. No matches will be played without a court monitor observing
the match. There will be a minimum of one monitor per two courts.
- Line calls and scoring - kids will be expected to call their own lines
and keep up with score. The server will call the score out before the
start of each point.
- All scores will be entered in TennisLink by the captains the same as
regular JTL.
