USTA ISSUED THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT:

The health and safety of our USTA Eastern family is of utmost importance. In light of heightened concerns surrounding the COVID-19 virus,  USTA Eastern is suspending all sanctioned junior and adult tournaments, adult League matches and Junior Team Tennis matches effective immediately for the entire section up to and including April 1st, 2020. We will continue to monitor the situation and determine whether to extend the suspension beyond this timeframe in the next few weeks. We will also be working to create a plan to reschedule these events in the near future. Thank you in advance for your patience.  
 
If you are scheduled to host a USTA Eastern sanctioned junior or adult tournament, League match or Junior Team Tennis match during this suspension period, please notify the participants of these changes.
 
All ongoing communications about COVID-19 and this information will be shared at https://www.usta.com/en/home/stay-current/eastern/coronavirus-update.html
 
We greatly appreciate everyone's ongoing support and dedication to the sport in a very difficult and challenging time.
