Introduction to Tournaments
At NJTP, we strongly believe in playing tournaments as a way to gain competitive experience and improve your skills as a tennis player.
Playing tournaments is an essential part of our Pathway to Success for junior tennis players. We have seen it proven over and over: kids who play lots of tournaments are better tennis players!
Playing tournaments helps motivate kids to practice hard and play well in their practice matches. It teaches them to handle the ups and downs of competitive match play. It requires kids to develop strategies to win against new, unknown opponents with different styles of play.
