TO THE JCCA COACHES AND COORDINATORS:

Here are the rules, formats, and locations for the Junior JCCA Summer Tennis League. Coaches should tell their juniors to show up on Mondays and Thursdays at the club that is hosting their particular age group. Juniors should try to have a partner for their doubles match dates. If they don't, the host coach will try to pair single players together.

Juniors should bring a can of balls the first time they show up at a club to play. The host coach will collect the cans and use one can per court per match date. Juniors may have to provide another can later in the season.
