Starting in 2012, new rules for youth tennis have been passed by the International Tennis Federation (ITF) and the United States Tennis Association (USTA) that require all sanctioned 10-and-under tournaments be played using slower-moving and lower-bouncing balls, shorter and lighter racquets, and on smaller courts. As a result:

·         All 8U sanctioned tournament play and USTA Jr. Team Tennis (JTT) must take place on 36 foot courts

·         All USTA Jr. Team Tennis (JTT) 10 and under beginner and intermediate play must take place on 60 foot courts using the orange ball

·         All 10U sanctioned tournament play must take place on 60 foot courts with the exception of a few elite events on 78 ft court using the green ball
