National Tennis Tour
The Junior National Tour is a series of tournaments throughout the year that give the best young players in the country the chance to play and compete against each other.
The national tour will be a combination of Grade 1 and Grade 2 tournaments – the highest levels for players in Britain – with competitions for all age groups from 9U to 18U.
Junior National Tour events are open to all players competing across 9U to 18U age groups.
- Singles tournaments – 9U-18U
- Doubles tournaments – 12U-18U
Players are accepted into the draws based on their LTA ranking or recent form at the time that entries close.
These events are most suitable for players who are getting strong results at regional level (Grade 3) or competing regularly in national or international tournaments.
Different age groups have slightly different match formats so make sure you check out our Junior National Tour guide to get all the information you need ahead of your event.
16U & 18U
All events are delivered by external venues and organisers, with the support of our Competitions team.
