USTA BACKGROUND SCREENING PROCESS FOR TEAM CAPTAINS AND COORDINATORS Purpose The USTA seeks to ensure the safety of all participants, and as such, the USTA has expanded and incorporated its criminal background screening policy into Safe Play as a legitimate business necessity to further its mission. Criminal background screenings have been implemented by the USTA in order to: i. Ensure a safe, secure and fun environment for participants to compete and continue to develop and enhance their skills. ii. Provide parents and legal guardians with a sense of security for their children. iii. Prevent individuals with ill intentions from becoming involved with its programming. Background screening is designed as a preventative measure. It is not a guarantee against incidents of inappropriate behavior or criminal activity. The USTA encourages parents and legal guardians to play an active role in their child’s development, both on and off the court, to ensure their well-being. Requirement All Jr. Team Tennis Captains/Co-Captains, Coaches/Asst. Coaches, or Jr. Team Tennis Program Coordinators are required to obtain a background check before the first match is played. It is recommended that the captains/coaches apply for their background check at a minimum of three weeks prior to the season beginning to assure that it will be back and cleared before the first match is played. The background screening approval will take up to 10 business days to process. Once approved, the screening is good for 2 years. *Please note that any captain/co-captain or coordinator that does not have a background screening approved will be locked out of Tennis Link until the screening is approved. Youth Protection Policies and Procedures for USTA Jr. Team Tennis To ensure a safe and fun environment for all participants, the USTA has developed "Safe Play." Safe Play embodies the USTA’s commitment to respect and safety for every individual participating in a USTA event or program through the use of screening, education and reporting tools. The USTA expects individuals to adhere to Safe Play policies and standards, as well as all other USTA policies, procedures, and practices and applicable external laws and regulations. Safe Play consists of the following five requirements and standards: 6 1. Conduct, Policies & Guidelines 2. USTA Background Screening 3. Education & Training 4.

Having seasons makes it easier for communities to plan their tennis programs around a calendar year and helps promote year round team tennis play. Prior to starting a season, the designated Area League Coordinator (ALC) must register the program on the TennisLink Jr. Team Tennis website at http://teamtennis.usta.com. Please work with your local USTA Chartered CTA and Community Program Tennis Coordinator when developing the marketing plan for your Jr. Team Tennis program. The league dates should coincide within the season dates. All leagues must adhere to the requirements listed on pages 4 and 5 to be an “official” USTA Jr. Team Tennis program in the Southwest Section. Once your league has been approved by the USTA Southwest Section, marketing of the USTA Jr. Team Tennis program may begin along with scheduling of matches and collection of registration fees. The seasons for the championship year are as follows: SEASON START END Fall August 1st December 31st Winter November 1st January 31st Spring January 1st May 31st Summer May 1st July 31st USTA Jr. Team Tennis leagues are expected to fall within these time frames over at least a multi-week length season (minimum 3 team matches must be played during a league season).

This division will have its teams advance to the USTA Southwest Section Championship, however only the winning teams in the 14 & Under and 18 & Under flights will advance to the National Championships. 9 GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF VARIOUS NTRP PLAYING LEVELS 1.5 - Beginner You have limited experience and are working primarily on getting the ball in play. 2.0 - Beginner You lack court experience and your strokes need developing. You are familiar with the basic positions for singles and doubles play. 2.5 - Beginner You are learning to judge where the ball is going, although your court coverage is limited. You can sustain a short rally of slow pace with other players of the same ability. 3.0 - Intermediate You are fairly consistent when hitting medium-paced shots, but are not comfortable with all strokes and lack execution when trying for directional control, depth, or power. Your most common doubles formation is one-up, one-back. 3.5 - Advanced You have achieved improved stroke dependability with directional control on moderate shots, but need to develop depth and variety. You exhibit more aggressive net play, have improved court coverage and are developing teamwork in doubles. 4.0 - Advanced You have dependable strokes, including directional control and depth on both forehand and backhand sides on moderate-paced shots. You can use lobs, overheads, approach shots and volleys with some success and occasionally force errors when serving. Rallies may be lost due to impatience. Teamwork in doubles is evident. 4.5 - Advanced You have developed your use of power and spin and can handle pace. You have sound footwork, can control depth of shots, and attempt to vary game plan according to your opponents. You can hit first serves with power and accuracy and place the second serve. You tend to over hit on difficult shots. Aggressive net play is common in doubles. 5.0 - Advanced You have good shot anticipation and frequently have an outstanding shot or attribute around which a game may be structured. You can regularly hit winners or force errors off of short balls and can put away volleys. You can successfully execute lobs, drop shots, half volleys, overhead smashes, and have good depth and spin on most second serves. 5.5 - Advanced You have mastered power and/or consistency as a major weapon.

The net height is lower, too. To view the court size diagrams, see page 4 in the National JTT Regulation Book. THE SCORING The QST Scoring system is simple. It helps organizers plan competition and it gives parents and players a start and finish line. 8 & Under: there are only 7 points in a game, so match play is short and sweet. Kids play the best of 3 games; the first to score 7 points (by 2 points) wins the game. The first to win 2 games wins the match. The longest a match will last is approximately 20 minutes. 10 & Under: play the best of 3 sets; the first to win 4 games wins a set. For the third set, the first player to win 7 points (by 2 points) wins the match. THE BALL Kids need a ball that’s equal to their playing abilities. A regulation tennis ball moves to fast, bounces too high, and is too heavy for the smaller racquet. Each age group, therefore, uses a ball better suited to their unique playing ability. 8 & Under: a foam ball or very low-compression ball moves slower, bounces lower and travels less distance. 10 & Under: a low-compression ball moves a little faster and travels farther than the ball used with the younger group, but it still has a lower bounce than a regulation ball. 11 PLAYER / PARENT / TEAM CAPTAIN SPORTSMANSHIP EXPECTATIONS The USTA Southwest Section is committed to develop and promote the growth of tennis and with USTA Jr. Team Tennis as one of the most successful junior programs for the United States Tennis Association we will continue to grow tennis at all levels for juniors of any age.

This list is a resource for Area League Coordinators and Captains to place participants in the appropriate levels. The Modified Ranking List has been developed based upon the section standings from previous months. For 2014: The ranking list will be based upon the section standings from September 1, 2012 to September 1, 2013. These rankings were determined by removing points earned in all level 6 tournaments and only counting points earned in tournaments Levels 3, 4, and 5 and the 2013 Jr. Team Tennis Section Championships. A player with 1,000 points or more in any age group based upon this list must participate in the advanced division. Participants with fewer than 1,000 points on this list are eligible to participate in the Intermediate division but may choose to play up in the Advanced division. Please note that a player ranked below these ranking guidelines may in fact be at a higher NTRP level, therefore coaches/captains and Area League Coordinators must use good faith in the placement of participants into the appropriate levels. The Area League Coordinator may choose to move a player to the appropriate level if necessary. Players on any list with 1,000 points or more must play in the advanced flight. Shaded areas indicate players with ranking eligible to participate in the Intermediate flight. *Please note that if a player with 1,000 points or more in the 10 and Under Division would like to compete, but there is no 10 and Under Advanced division offered in the local league, that player is allowed to play in an intermediate division of a different age group. 18 Girl’s 10s Rank Position Player's Name City State Combined Points Birthdate 1 Neyestani, Anna Bella Phoenix AZ 2995 2/18/2005 2 VUKSAN, TEODORA Mesa AZ 2858 11/6/2004 3 Katz, Naomi El Paso TX 1658 5/4/2004 4 MASSEY, ALEXIS MIKAILA Las Cruces NM 1585 10/2/2004 5 Flowers, Emily Grace Tucson AZ 1155 9/15/2003 6 Bloss, Avery Madison El Paso TX 1110 1/30/2004 7 Wang, Matilyn Scottsdale AZ 1080 12/29/2004 8 Rosales, Trinity Celeste Las Cruces NM 978 7/8/2003 9 Koenig, Ava Scottsdale AZ 923 4/20/2003 10 MASSEY, BAILEY JO Las Cruces NM 905 6/19/2003 11 Hannen, Alexandra Lynn Scottsdale AZ 860 5/4/2005 12 Merrion, Eliza Lynn Farmington NM 815 9/2/2002 13 Frazier, Julia Scottsdale AZ 775 1/5/2005 14 Snell, Madeleine Mabel El Paso TX 735 12/30/2002 15 Jewitt, Alexandra Morgan Surprise AZ 580 7/22/2003 16 Luecke, Katharina Julia El Paso TX 560 3/19/2004 17 Isaac, Rylee Nicole El Paso TX 518 8/1/2003 18 Johnson, Sereniti R Mesa AZ 480 11/11/2006 19 Kershner, Ryan A Phoenix AZ 480 9/25/2003 20 Bui, Christine HienNhi Albuquerque NM 425 3/22/2003 21 Lederer, Rio Tucson AZ 400 5/9/2003 22 Correa, Mikaela Angelina Gilbert AZ 390 1/9/2005 23 Gavino, Gwendolyn Paige Tucson AZ 385 1/9/2003 24 Escobar, Valentina El Paso TX 380 7/22/2003 25 Zamora, Adrianna Lydia Tucson AZ 350 7/31/2003 26 Gonzalez, Isabel El Paso TX 165 3/31/2004 27 Wang, Caitlyn Scottsdale AZ 73 5/14/2003 28 Chapman, Caroline El Paso TX 25 10/2/2003 29 Johnston, Kate X Chandler AZ 25 3/1/2003 30 Dominguez, Zara Leticia El Paso TX 25 6/25/2003 19 Girls 12s Rank Position Player's Name City State Combined Points Birthdate 1 Corley, Carmen Alexis Sandia Park NM 4968 9/17/2001 2 Stein, Lauren Paradise Valley AZ 4655 5/23/2002 3 Hochstatter, Amber Phoenix AZ 4628 9/19/2002 4 Koenig, McKenna Scottsdale AZ 3838 10/9/2001 5 RODERICK, MAYA ELYSSA Tempe AZ 3640 5/13/2001 6 Stelse, Hailey Ann Scottsdale AZ 3618 7/28/2002 7 Neyestani, Ava Banou Phoenix AZ 3505 1/19/2002 8 Smith, McKenna Marie Paradise Valley AZ 3365 5/27/2001 9 Broerman, Catherine Hunter Scottsdale AZ 3260 5/8/2001 10 Frazier, Josie Scottsdale AZ 3210 1/20/2001 11 Stutz, Erica Scottsdale AZ 2723 1/26/2002 12 Moss, Gabriela Joye Paradise Valley AZ 2668 10/9/2001 13 Visic, Emilija-Emi Phoenix AZ 2543 3/5/2001 14 Gorden, Abigail El Paso TX 2303 10/14/2002 15 Nguyen, Emily Farmington NM 2235 4/11/2001 16 Malkin, Misa Tucson AZ 1938 8/3/2002 17 MASSEY, JOCELYN PAIGE Las Cruces NM 1848 1/12/2002 18 Chavez, Cienna Jade Albuquerque NM 1743 10/28/2002 19 Katz, Naomi El Paso TX 1608 5/4/2004 20 Neyestani, Anna Bella Phoenix AZ 1455 2/18/2005 21 Herrera, Mikayla Raine Albuquerque NM 1335 1/17/2001 22 Hannen, Erin Nicole Scottsdale AZ 1330 1/23/2002 23 Caballero, Jasmine Malie 24 Glidden, Lorelei Phoenix Tempe AZ AZ 1100 988 1/9/2002 5/9/2002 25 Rosales, Trinity Celeste Las Cruces NM 978 7/8/2003 26 ruja, MiaAngelina El Paso TX 818 4/21/2003 27 Wieland, Julia Oro Valley AZ 720 7/11/2001 28 Hoffman, Natalie Fountain Hills AZ 700 7/2/2001 29 Rouf, Rimona Saira Phoenix AZ 675 6/22/2002 30 Cardenas, Isabel El Paso TX 575 2/14/2001 31 Bloss, Lauren El Paso TX 480 2/9/2001 32 Boxrud, Natalie Nichole Mesa AZ 460 6/8/2001 33 Behrend, Maria Victoria Albuquerque NM 410 1/31/2001 34 MASSEY, BAILEY JO Las Cruces NM 375 6/19/2003 35 ruja, AnaCristina El Paso TX 368 2/5/2001 36 Stogner, Skyler Autumn El Paso TX 360 1/11/2001 37 Vijan, Elizabeth Marie Scottsdale AZ 345 1/18/2002 38 Jun, Melanie Alamogordo NM 325 11/17/2001 39 romanoski, ela lise Tucson AZ 270 1/24/2002 40 Moss, Karolina Masted Paradise Valley AZ 245 10/21/2003 41 Gavino, Gwendolyn Paige Tucson AZ 220 1/9/2003 42 Dechoux, Tristanne A.

Your dedication and hard work is why this program continues to blossom and expand. Without priceless volunteers, our juniors would not be able to compete with their friends, experience teamwork and unity, have fun, and learn life lessons on and off the court. We hope that your experiences with Jr. Team Tennis will keep you supporting our program and juniors in the Southwest! Thanks again!
