How do I know what
level my child should play?

GJTT -- and JTT leagues around the nation -- are now using junior ratings to create level-based competition to help ensure that players have a positive experience. Ratings are designed to reward you for competing, inspire you to develop your game and offer the opportunity to compete more regularly and to be the best you can be.

For more information on junior ratings, please see GJTT Junior Ratings.
