The intent is to promote a high level of competitive play and prepare players for collegiate competition.

Elite League team members were selected from the top 48 junior players in southern Nevada, ages 18 & Under. Players were chosen according to their national ranking and later assigned to their respective teams by way of a draft.

The league match on the 27th featured multiple split-set matches and a guest appearance by touring pro Asia Muhammad. A special thanks to the Darling Tennis Center and UNLV for allowing us to use their courts, and to the Marty Hennessy Foundation, whose financial assistance helped make this league possible.
