Ross School Tennis Academy in East Hampton was listed on the USTA PlayTennis calendar as host of "Girls Show events" Feb. 13-15, 2026, with registrations marked closed and an entry fee of $155.00. The PlayTennis listing names the venue at 18 Goodfriend Dr, East Hampton, NY 11937-2584 and is the primary source for the event’s dates, fee, and registration status.

The academy is a recurring USTA tournament site in the region. JohnMcEnroeTennisAcademy results include a Level 5 Closed event at Ross School Tennis Academy on 01/10/2025 where a player reached the singles quarterfinals, and a Level 4 event at Ross on 08/17/2025 that produced a doubles semifinalist and a mixed semifinalist. Those entries underscore Ross’s recent role hosting both closed and open junior events across 2024-2025.

Ross School’s in-house development programs align with the academy’s tournament hosting. The RSTC program page states, "RSTC Yellow is for players 11 years and up who have advanced past RSTC Green either through USTA tournament progression or through RSTC pro evaluation." The site adds, "We will focus on skill development, match play, and building confidence on the court. Our goal is to create a positive, high-energy environment where players will enjoy plenty of games while continuing to improve their overall performance." Yellow Ball+ carries a listed cost of $800 and its daily structure includes "Dynamic Warm-Up & Footwork - Agility, mobility, and coordination training," "Technical Development - Stroke mechanics, serve/return mastery, and specialty shots," "Tactical Play & Point Construction - Building strategies for singles and doubles," and "Match Play & Competitive Drills - Real match situations and pressure scenarios."

Youth offerings at Ross further include RSTC Green for 9- to 10-year-olds, with a Spring session listed to run March 2-June 3 on Monday and Wednesday, 5-6:30 pm, at a cost of $1320. The program copy specifies that "There are no make-ups or refunds for any reason (medical/ sickness, inclement weather, etc)," and lists excluded dates of March 30, April 1, April 6, April 8, and May 25.

Local historical schedules show different fee levels for earlier Ross-hosted tournaments: a 2022 local tournament schedule listed a Level 6 February Tournament at Ross with an entry fee of $70 and a deadline of February 12, plus contacts fsantacruz@ross.org and (631) 907-5162, while an L6 Open at Ross entry listed richrottkamp1@verizon.net and (631) 421-0040 for more information. Those 2022 figures differ from the PlayTennis $155 fee for Feb. 13-15, 2026, reflecting different event types, tournament levels, and years rather than a direct contradiction; PlayTennis remains the authoritative listing for the 2026 event.

With registrations closed on PlayTennis for the Feb. 13-15 dates, players and families looking for draw sheets, tournament directors, or future Ross events should consult the official PlayTennis tournament listing and the Ross School Tennis Academy program pages for up-to-date contact details such as fsantacruz@ross.org and (631) 907-5162 as starting points.
