Then you play people on the team and the top 6 in girls and top 6 in boys. The only time you have umpires and ball boys is in pro tournaments. It depends on how many courts your school has to play on. My school has five and we finish our match and then someone else plays. Varsity plays first and when all varsity gets done the higher JV play if there are extra people or if someone will play twice. Age doesn't matter, i was varsity in the 8th grade. It just depends on how good you are and how many people you can beat out. You try out for the team. Then you play people on the team and the top 6 in girls and top 6 in boys.
