About the Qualifier

The SouthEastern Michigan Tennis Association (SEMTA) Qualifier is a tournament that qualifies players to represent our district at the Midwest Closed Junior Tournament. The Midwest Standing Tournament List is used to select the players that may sign-up for the SEMTA Qualifier. Draw sizes are limited.  However, if an age division is not full, then any district age-appropriate player may sign-up. Players must send information to the SEMTA office that confirms age and place of residence. In draws of 64, 48 and 32, usually the top 8, 6 and 4 are selected to advance to the Midwest Closed Tournament

  • Boys’ Qualifier:  June 1, 2018 (entry deadline May 16, 2018 –enter Online)
  • Girls’ Qualifier: June 8, 2018 (entry deadline May 23, 2018 – enter Online)

Summer USTA Registrations Underway

It’s time to sign up for adult USTA summer teams. Team captains will be contacting new and returning players with the team number. If you’re looking for a team to play on, call the club and leave a message for Anne Snell that includes your name, phone number, email address, and USTA rating.

HVTC has numerous teams this summer. There are divisions for men, women, and mixed doubles in multiple age brackets. We have just the right level for you, but contact us soon because teams fill up quickly. League play starts in mid-May and continues through July.

Junior Excellence

All Junior Excellence participants needing to make up absences from Session III should consider the makeup night on Friday, March 16, 7–8:30pm. Players will be divided into groups based on age and skill for optimum instruction. There’s no charge for those using this event as a makeup. Please register at the front desk. Other options for making up an absence are attending a meeting of the same level group on a different day, using the ball machine for one hour, or playing during parent-child time for $10 per hour.

The next session of Junior Excellence starts March 19. If you anticipate absences from the Junior Excellence classes, fees may be prorated if you ask at the desk for a blue Request to Prorate form and submit it during the first week of the session. Simply telling the desk personnel or the pros that a student will not attend will not trigger prorated fees.
