2025 Entering Both Age Divisions
2025 Eligibility: Boys' 18 - Born September 1, 2006 or later
2025 Eligibility: Boys' 16 - Born September 1, 2008 or later
Entry is open to professional players.
The USTA Regulations allows a player to enter more than one age division of a USTA National Championship. If you want to play the Nationals in Kalamazoo, but aren't sure if you'll be accepted, you may now enter up to two age divisions.
Players will be first selected for the 18's division and then for the 16's division. Players selected for the 18's Nationals in Kalamazoo will not be considered for selection into the younger age division. Players not selected for the 18's Nationals in Kalamazoo will be considered for selection into the 16's division. Players not selected for either age division are only eligible as an alternate in the 16’s division.
Additionally, a player may not enter one age division in singles and a different age division in doubles. This is an important thing to consider before entering - if you enter two divisions, are not accepted into the older division, you can be considered for the 16's and if not selected, you can be considered to be an alternate in the younger division only.
