Update on MJTA Red Team!

weekend to represent the state of Tennessee against 9 other
state teams at the USTA Jr. Team Tennis Southern Championships
in the 18 & Under Intermediate Division.. The team played very
well and placed 2nd in their pool and 3rd overall. The members

Match Format:
The fall league is set up differently from regular high school tennis
matches. It’s quick, it’s fun, it’s designed to keep kids
playing tennis in the off season without taking up a lot of
time. It's set up more like Billie Jean King's World Team
Tennis. Each team will have 2-4 boys and 2-4 girls. They play
one set of men's doubles, one set of women’s' doubles, one set
of mixed doubles, one set of men’s singles, and one set of
women’s singles (MD, WD, XD, MS, and WS). A set in this league
is first to 5 games. They play no ad. The team with the most
total games, wins the match. Example below: even though Team A
won 3 out of 5 sets, Team B is the overall match winner since
they won the most total games.
