The USTA has three skill levels and five age groupings:
The age groupings are: 
10 & under, 12's, 14's, 16's, and finally 18 & under. 

The three skill levels are as follows:

1) Novice Division - kids who have taken lessons for 1-2 years.
2) Challengers Division - had 2-4 years tennis experience.
3) Champs Division - had 4-5 years tennis experience. 

When you win 2 tournaments in your division you should move up to the next level.  Check with Jim for your correct level before entering a tournament. 

You have to become a USTA Jr. member to enter.  This usually costs $30/year.
