Players at this year?s USTA Boys? 18 & 16 National Championships will be issued, personalized photo credentials as part of the registration process. The credentials will clearly identify each player by name and include a color photo.

?The new credentials are just one more example of our dedication to continually improving our tournament?, said Timon Corwin Tournament Director. ?While we have not had problems with player or site security in the past, we wanted to be proactive and create a system that would ensure that access to courts and player areas are restricted to authorized, properly credentialed personnel.?

This year?s tournament will be held at Kalamazoo College and Western Michigan University from August 5th through August 14th.
