NIT CHAMPIONSHIP Testimonials
Why they love the NIT Championship...
The NIT Championship was extremely well done. Just so professional in every way and made our girls feel special from the moment we walked in.
We really appreciate the extra opportunity and it's an amazing tournament. I really hope we can see it again next year.
I want to thank UTR Sports for giving us the opportunity to play the NIT tournament. I think it’s a great way to finish up the season and it’s super fun to play more with your team.
I really thought tennis needed something like this for a long time. To be able to promote our sport with another national tournament at the end of the year and have post-season play is fantastic.
