This is a Nike Junior Tour Event (NJT).....What is NJT?
The Nike Junior Tour (NJT) is a worldwide series of junior tournaments sponsored by Nike. NJT tournaments are for boys and girl’s 12’s and 14’s. Nike’s objective in creating the NJT is to “energize and develop players through events and partnerships with Federations” and to “create excitement, passion and fun in tennis”. In the eight years since its inception, the NJT has expanded to include 23 countries with over 45,000 players participating worldwide. This year will mark the sixth year that the United States has participated in this unique junior tournament opportunity.
Participating USTA sections run local NJT tournaments that produce four winners for their section (B & G 12s & 14s). Those winners join the other NJT section winners at the NJT USA National Masters at Stanford University in September. NJT USA National Masters winners go on to play in the NJT International Masters in November 2007 (location TBA).
The following affects only players in the 14s and 12s and interested in the NJT tour: Only players, who meet the ITF (International Tennis Federation) eligibility cutoff of December 31, will be eligible to qualify for the NJT USA and International Masters events. Example: If you are currently 12 but will turn 13 on or before December 31 you cannot play in the 12’s and therefore must enter the 14’s. Players who do not meet the ITF eligibility cutoff but are still the appropriate age for the NJT sectional events may still participate in their sectional events but will not be eligible to play at the USA Masters event at Stanford.
NJT points accumulated determine sectional champions. In the event of a NJT point tie, the section will be responsible for setting up play off match to determine the sectional champion. Players will still recieve normal points per round points besides NJT series points.
Places first through fourth will recieve Nike prizes. All BG 12 and 14 players will recieve an NJT t-shirt.

Important
Attention Players/Parents: Tournament Players must enter contact information each time they register for a tournament
Due to a new policy from the USTA legal department, tournament directors will no longer have access to phone numbers and email addresses of tournament participants unless the player has entered this information when they register for the tournament. This means that if a player does not enter their phone and email information, a tournament director cannot contact them for any reason, including withdrawals, defaults, byes, rain delays, etc.
The only way to ensure that the tournament director has this information is for the player/parent to enter it when registering. The USTA Southwest Section appreciates all of our player's/parent’s cooperation with this issue so that tournaments can continue to communicate necessary information to you.
