Welcome to the 2026 NYTS (Advanced) Division of the HPC JR tournament! We are actively checking fields and hoping for no more rain to play this tournament on the grass. If we are unable to locate dry fields, we will move this tournament to the BPC - Arena.
This would no longer be considered a NYTS qualifier by the USPA if moved indoors. It will play as an advanced division of our JR Tournament.
Below are the teams, draw, and schedule for the tournament. Christina Cantu will be the NYTS tournament coordinator; contact her at (832) 618-0034. Please call Chloe at (561) 541-8463 if you have any other questions.
*We will allow courtesy changes because of the Houston heat*
