UTR Junior Competition Guidelines

Throughout a tennis player’s career a win-loss ratio of 3:1 has been identified as essential for both developing confidence and ensuring optimal challenge during competitive play.
It should be the most important criteria considered in the selection of a competition.
For example athletes should look to “play up” only when they are able to consistently achieve this level of success.
Conversely, if an athlete is not achieving this level of success, they should adjust their competition selection by entering into lower level events, ensuring that the 3:1 win-loss ratio is met.
