The Facility Letter of Intent must be filled out and sent in with your Tournament Application Form. In order to submit an Application Form, tournament directors are required to accept the invite from Serve Tennis to access the platform.

Returning tournament directors will not receive a new invite; only new tournament directors. For help or questions, National has created the Customer Care Help Center.
Tournament Application Fees for Adult and Junior National Levels 5, 6 and 7 Tournaments have been updated and must be paid online using a credit card. Checks will not be accepted. Those that cannot pay online will not be considered for approval.
