What is Middle School Team Tennis?
UYT Middle School Team Tennis is an opportunity for boys and girls grades 7-9 to participate in after-school team tennis.

UYT SLC County currently competes in the Jordan and Canyons school districts. Teams practice 2 times per week after school and play a match each week against another team. There is no tryout to participate on the team, everyone is welcome.
How do the competitive matches work?
Match competition formats are similar to high school tennis competitions. Each team has a varsity squad, a JV squad, and an exhibition squad.

The varsity squad consists of the top 8 players. The varsity squad of one team will play against the varsity squad of another team in the following format: 1st Singles, 2nd Singles, 1st Doubles, 2nd Doubles, 3rd Doubles.
-
The JV squad consists of the next top 8 players. The format for JV is the same for varsity.
