Team North Carolina is a comprehensive plan to attract players in the 8 & under segment and continue to offer training opportunities throughout their junior tennis career in North Carolina. Team North Carolina will attempt to build a pyramid base of players in the younger age groups and make an impact on their competitive training in these formative years. It also endeavors to build loyalty to the program by requiring community service, mentoring to younger players by also participating in the younger age group camp, and playing to represent North Carolina in team events.

The base of the pyramid is built through a statewide effort by local CTA’s to host carnivals, festivals, kid’s clubs, etc. to widen the pool of players. From there, the kids who are inspired by the game and play in JTT leagues, sanctioned tournaments and unsanctioned events will be invited to a statewide network of 8 & under local Early Development Jamborees (EDJ) or 10 & Under EDJ’s held regionally throughout NC. The Team NC plan continues to narrow by player proficiency up to a Statewide Early Development Camp (EDC). Read More
