Therefore, its essential not to add pressure to the children, they will be dealing with many aspects of the competition and they need a pressure-free and didactic environment during the tournament to make it a productive and fun learning experience. tournament draws

competitive player etiquette ... GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP, CHARACTERIZED BY FAIR AND GENEROUS BEHAVIOR AND TREATMENT OF OTHERS, LIES AT THE HEART OF TENNIS… Warmups Follow ITF and USTA rules for warmups, limited to five minutes unless organizers allow more. Respect the time limit and avoid treating it as practice. Hit the ball back to your opponent, avoid winners, and focus on getting comfortable. Warmup Serves Let the serve be the last stroke to warm up. Catch your opponent’s serves instead of returning them aggressively. This avoids irritating them and maintains good sportsmanship. Line Calls Most tennis matches lack officials, so players must make their own line calls. Each player calls their side's lines due to the best view. To avoid conflicts, never favor yourself in calls. When unsure, give opponents the benefit of doubt. This relies on mutual trust. Make clear and prompt calls for both sides. If you quickly call a ball wrong, it's okay to correct and apologize. Occasionally, if you have a better view, offer points to opponents. Calling Out the Score In case there is no umpire in the match, players call out the score. Servers announce the set score before each game, and the game score is called before each point. This practice prevents conflicts and demonstrates good etiquette. Verbal and Noise Distractions Avoid talking or shouting during points as it’s against the rules and can lead to point forfeiture. Silence aids concentration. In doubles, communicate when the ball comes your way, but stay quiet when it heads back to the opponent. However, if releasing your air while hitting the balls produces noise, it’s understandable, acceptable, and suggested. Also, during a match, silence your cell phone to prevent interruptions. If it rings, your opponent can claim a point due to intentional hindrance. Turn off or set your phone to silent mode before the match. Visual Distractions Avoid distracting movements like arm waving, which can lead to point loss as a hindrance. Players often distract when returning serves, but intent matters. Natural moves are okay, but avoid unnecessary distractions. Some players exploit this before opponent serves, but it's poor etiquette. Unintentional distractions, like a ball on the court, aren't hindrances; players should call a let. Pro umpires spot normal prep from intentional hindrance, rare in pro tennis. Returning Missed Serves If your opponent misses serves widely, avoid returning for practice swings. Instead, block the ball to the court's side or back. It's respectful to the server and avoids disrupting their rhythm by making them chase the return. Clearing Balls Both players must clear balls before each point to eliminate distractions. After the first serve, the server should clear their side if a ball lands there. Exceptions include balls caught in the net, but if your opponent asks, respect their request to remove it. Ball Retrieval It's fine to retrieve your ball from a nearby court's back. Avoid doing so during a point. Wait for the point to finish before grabbing it yourself or asking the other player to return it. Net Chords & Mishits Acknowledging lucky shots: Occasionally, a net-clipped shot or a shank with an unexpected spin lands on your opponent's side, making it difficult for them to return. Waving to your opponent is a gesture of recognition for such lucky moments. While luck is inherent in the game, nobody enjoys being beaten by it. Stepping into their shoes, you grasp the frustration, making the wave a courteous non-verbal "I understand, it was luck." It's about sportsmanship, not apologizing. The tradition of waving in these scenarios might be debated, but it's valued. Targeting Opponent In matches, moments arise when both players are at the net and the opponent pops up the ball, tempting you to hit them. While rules allow it, aiming at them is poor etiquette. Close proximity raises injury risks, particularly hitting the head. Ideally, aim at open court or feet, but not at point's expense. Fair play is a fine line; if opponent avoids hit, aim elsewhere. Sometimes, like tough overheads, hitting direction is an afterthought or unintentional. If you accidentally hit or come close to hitting, waving and apologizing is courteous, acknowledging unintentionality. Underarm Serve Although it's legally allowed, it often carries negative connotations and is seen as poor etiquette. People may view it as a lack of effort or an attempt to catch opponents off guard. Similar to excessive drop shots or lobs, the underarm serve's effectiveness diminishes with frequent use, potentially putting the server at a disadvantage. If your opponent employs this tactic, stay composed. Be ready for anything, and remember that standing farther back can give you a better view of the serve. Don't let it rattle you. Celebrating Wins Part of good sportsmanship involves being a humble winner and a graceful loser. If you win, it’s perfectly fine to celebrate, but be thoughtful about the fact that the player on the other side of the net suffered a loss. There’s a fine line between celebration and gloating. Shaking Hands After a Match Always shake hands with your opponent at the end of the match regardless of the match's outcome. Winners should acknowledge a well-fought game, and losers should congratulate the victor. A firm handshake and eye contact show respect. While embracing is common in professional tennis, a simple handshake suffices. Make sure your handshake is sincere. Questions? any questions?

spectators etiquette ... YES, THERE ARE ALSO RULES AND RECOMMENDED BEHAVIOR FOR PARENTS, COACHES, RELATIVES, FRIENDS, AND/OR ANYONE ELSE WHO ATTENDS A COMPETITIVE TENNIS MATCH... Silent Observance. When watching a tennis match, please refrain from talking or making noise during points to avoid distracting the players. While you might think you're far from the action, multiple voices can become loud and disruptive. Maintaining silence allows players to concentrate better. If an umpire or official asks for quiet, respect their request. Even a brief pause before a serve can help create a focused environment. It's common for spectators to break this etiquette, but remember that fellow spectators might ask you to be quiet if you're talking. Appropriate Cheers Cheering and clapping for players or great points is encouraged, but always wait until the point is over. Be certain that a fair ball cannot be returned before showing your appreciation. Sometimes, a player's exceptional effort can continue a point unexpectedly, so quiet down to let the play proceed. If a player makes an unforced error, you can cheer, but the reaction is usually more subdued. Celebrating obvious mistakes is less common than acknowledging a player's positive efforts or victories. Stay Neutral Avoid interfering in the match, especially concerning line calls or rulings. Let players handle such situations or call officials if necessary. Keep in mind that addressing officials disrespectfully will lead to removal from the premises. Inappropriate behavior towards players, spectators, or staff will also result in immediate ejection. Tournament officials are the sole judges of unacceptable behavior. Being a parent or coach doesn't grant special privileges except for removing your own child from competition. Always follow the direction of on-site officials. No Unpermitted Coaching In junior tennis, sideline coaching is off-limits unless explicitly allowed. This encourages independent skill development, decision-making, responsibility, risk-taking, pressure handling, emotional control, and fair competition among young players. Photos Yes, Calls No While you can take pictures and videos during a match, ensure your phone is silent and avoid making or receiving calls. Keep flash off to not distract players, be mindful of obstructing views, and skip excessive selfies that can disturb fellow spectators. No Taunting Unlike some sports, taunting is not acceptable in tennis. It's considered poor etiquette and can lead to ejection from the match. Remember, courteous behavior fosters a positive atmosphere on the court. Food & Drinks Spectators can usually bring food and drinks, including alcohol, to tournaments. Check the venue’s rules before bringing them. Remember to maintain appropriate behavior with alcohol. Dress Comfortably Wear casual and comfortable attire, considering the possibility of spending the entire day at the tournament. Be mindful of the weather conditions. Supportive Parenting While cheering for your child is fine, avoid being disruptive or adding pressure. Keep emotions in check. Also, guide your child in understanding tennis etiquette to ensure respectful behavior on the court. Questions? any questions?
