Singles will be played on a half-court and doubles on a full court.  All matches will be best 2 out of 3 games to 11 points. Pending registration numbers – we will do our best to have all U11 events be round robin format. All U11 matches will have a volunteer on the court to assist with rules, scoring and pace of play.
