USTA Boys’ Nats at the Zoo

79TH USTA Boys' National Tennis Tournament · August 5-14

Each summer the excitement of the USTA Boys’ 18 & 16 National Championships overtakes Kalamazoo, Michigan. This tournament is the single most important event of the tennis year for the nearly 500 outstanding juniors who arrive from all parts of the United States. Ten days of intense, tough, inspired tennis earn for each of the ultimate winners in singles and doubles the cherished title of United States National Champion. And as a testament to the incredible tennis played in Kalamazoo, the 18’s Champions in Singles and Doubles winners receive an automatic bid to the main draw of the U.S. Open.

This year, the Boys’ Nationals is elated to welcome back, Kids Day to Stowe Stadium at Kalamazoo College! Due to COVID restrictions in 2021, Kids Day was held downtown Kalamazoo, but the fun and excitement returns to Stowe Stadium on August 4 from 1 to 3 pm. Kids Day is graciously Sponsored by HONOR Credit Union and tennis programming provided by the YMCA of Greater Kalamazoo.

“We are so excited to bring kids back to Stowe Stadium for this incredible community event,” says Mark Riley, Boys’ Nationals Tournament Director. “We revamped this event in 2019 to be more accessible to kids, families and groups who have no involvement with tennis. We hope this format is relaxed and inviting and exposes our community to the fun that tennis offers. Like in 2019, we will offer a series of follow up Kids Day events in the fall and winter to continue the momentum and fun. Best of all, all of these events are completely free of charge and everyone will go home with a prize.”

Kids are encouraged to wear athletic foot wear and bring a racquet if they have one. No racket? No problem! We will have one for every player. Water will be available on site, but please be prepared for hot temperatures on the courts!

Boys’ Nationals tournament staff, sponsors and volunteers are delighted to be back for the 79th Nats at the Zoo, August 5-14 at Kalamazoo College, WMU and Loy Norrix High School. We can’t wait to kick off the tournament with Kids Day on August 4 from 1 - 3 pm! Hope to see you at Stowe!
