Captain and coach role
Most Junior Team Tennis teams have a parent coach or volunteer coach. They typically set up the team apparel program because the families trust them to manage it. The free Pro Shops plan covers the first three products, which is enough to launch a team store.

Start FreeFrequently Asked Questions
Do USTA Junior Team Tennis players need matching polos?
Encouraged but not required. Matching apparel reads more like a "team" and helps with identification at sectional events.
Can multiple teams from the same club share one store?
Yes. One club account can host multiple team product lines. VIP plan supports up to 200 products.
How does the team coach get paid?
Bi-weekly direct deposit. Most parent coaches volunteer and route revenue back to team expenses.
Is there a dress code beyond collared polos?
USTA enforces no offensive imagery or text and limits external sponsor logos. Our designs comply by default.
