The Junior Development Series (JDS) is a tournament circuit specifically designed for players of a beginner to intermediate level. Each tournament allows players to experience crucial competitive match play and skill development opportunities.

2024 will see the competition continue in grouping players via Universal Tennis Rating (UTR) and will use the UTR system for all events. This means that all events will be rating-based play, rather than age group-based play.
