PLAYER DEVELOPMENT

All USTA junior players wishing to be endorsed are automatically endorsed once the player obtains an ITF IPIN account. Information about endorsement is listed below:

• Players who wish to obtain an IPIN account must go to ipin.itftennis.com. 

• Players who are planning to play ITF's should send a copy of their US Passport to ustapdplayerservices@usta.com

• Players who are suspended by the USTA are not eligible to compete in ITF Junior Events

The USTA is able to nominate an official coach/accompanying person to ITF World Tennis Tour Junior Grade A, B, 1-3 events.    If the USTA is not sending a USTA Staff member then we are able to nominate our players coach/accompanying person.  The Guidelines for Nominating Official Coach/Accompanying Person at ITF World Tennis Tour Junior Events can be found by clicking the link below:

All players must have a coach/parent nominated as the official federation coach that will be onsite at the tournament. Please read nomination information below. USTA Player Development cannot nominate a player without a coach nomination. Failure to submit a name will make the player ineligible for endorsement.
