What age should players start JTT?

Players ages 9-18 are invited to participate in Paducah Tennis Association’s JTT program.

Do you have to be a really good player for JTT? 

Players of ALL LEVELS are invited to play in JTT! Whether you’re a new player just learning the game, or a seasoned player hoping to get a college scholarship, JTT has a place for you.

How much does JTT cost? 

PTA charges $100 for the JTT summer season which runs from May 1st – July 31st.  Included in the season is a weekly match and weekly practice overseen by trained coaches. Players of ALL LEVELS are highly encouraged to also participate in our weekly clinics, but it is not required to participate in JTT.  

Can players do JTT and school tennis?

Absolutely! In fact, our 18 and under teams don’t even begin playing until after the Kentucky high school season is over. JTT is a great way to continue playing after school is over for the year.

How does JTT affect UTR and WTN rank?

All JTT matches are entered into USTA which formulates and updates WTN rankings. UTR pulls from USTA matches to update their rankings.

Does Paducah JTT compete beyond local teams? 

All of our JTT divisions have the opportunity to go to the state tournament in August. When creating teams, we will take into account which players want to go to state and which players do not.  Also, our teams will have opportunities to play other JTT teams across the state during the season.
