Top level, tournament-playing juniors who are looking for higher level competition may be eligible to play in the ALTA adult leagues prior to turning 18.    

Here are the guidelines: 

  • Junior players currently 16-17 years of age may be considered for this program.
  • Qualified junior players may only be included on or added to AA rosters or the highest-level roster available. Rosters below the highest level will be moved to the highest level or AA if a qualified junior is a member of the team.   
  • Two qualified juniors will be allowed per AA team.    

Captains who want to participate in this program must do the following: 

  • Send an email to pickleballvp@altatennis.org providing the player’s name, birthdate, ALTA# if they have one, parent contact information, and any other helpful information for consideration. Be sure to copy firstvp@altatennis.org on the communication.    
  • Once the junior player is approved, they will need an ALTA membership if he or she does not already have one from past ALTA league play.
  • The ALTA office staff will assist in processing the $30 adult membership payment, which is required to play in the pickleball league.
