Tennis tournament regulations?

Question

Hi Im playing at a tennis tournament for the very first time. It is a junior satelliete. Are there any clothes I HAVE to wear? Also, are there any other rules that I should know about?

BTW What are the USTA and SCTA guidelines? Will someone explain the point penalty system?

Answer 1

There are a couple guidelines that come to my mind.

1. Foot faults are actually called out.

2. You have to wear shorts with pockets.

3. Swearing or any other obscenities may result in a point deduction (meaning you lose the next point).

4. You have to wear tennis shoes, not work boots or dress shoes, because they can scuff the courts.

Good luck out there

Answer 2

Wear Nike or Adidas tennis wear, they're the best there is.

Browse thru tennis.com  You may find all the rules & guidelines ya wanna know.

Good luck kid & tel us about that tournament later.
