Why is declaring residency important?
Residency declaration is a requirement for registering in closed USTA tournaments.
Declaring residency shall determine the players who may play in Closed Sectional and District Tournaments, the players who may appear on a Sectional Quota List, and the players who may be selected to represent a Sectional Association or District Association in a team competition.
When can you declare residency?
Players can only declare/update their residency once per calendar year. You must declare your child's residency prior to registering for a closed USTA tournament.
If your child's residency information has changed more than once in the calendar year, please contact USTA Customer Care. For your convenience, click the blue Help button in the bottom left corner of the page to chat with our team.
