Wild cards are available to citizens of the United States who are either (A) a legal Southern California Resident (primary residency) or (B) a full-time enrolled student at a Southern California college/university. This residency must be reflected on the USTA Player Profile at the time of registration for the event. 

Clarification of any discrepancy of the interpretation of this rule will be at the sole discretion of the Wild Card Committee. The Wild Card Committee reserves the right to request documentation of proof of any kind.

All applicants MUST have an ITF I-pin number.

The Wild Card Committee is made up of the following:

The Tournament Director (varies per event); Trevor Kronemann; Cathy Jacobsen-Guzy; Maria Goldberg; and a USTA representative. The decisions of the Committee are final.

Notification: All wild card recipients will be contacted by email or phone.

Wild Card submissions must be made not less than two weeks prior to tournament start date. Late submissions will not be accepted except under extenuating circumstances.

Once notified of the wild card acceptance, players will have 24 hours to confirm acceptance. If no confirmation is made within 24 hours, the Wild Card Committee will make a substitute wild card selection.

Players can apply for either main draw, qualifying wild cards, or both.

Players can apply for wild cards to multiple tournaments simultaneously.

Wild card requests can only be made through the wild card submission webpage.

> ADDITIONAL EXPECTATIONS OF WILD CARD RECIPIENTS

As a tennis player, receiving a wildcard into 2026 SoCal Pro Series events is an incredible privilege that should not be taken lightly. With this benefit comes the opportunity to not only showcase your skills on the court but also give back to the sport that has given you so much.

By helping others come up behind you and working with USTA Southern California to promote and grow tennis, you can be a part of something much bigger than just yourself. Your contributions can inspire and encourage the next generation of tennis players and help to create a positive and supportive community both on and off the court.

While giving back is not a mandate, we hope that you will choose to (for example, participating in “Hit with a Pro” at BNP Family Day, earned media, and more). USTA SoCal may ask you to participate in activities such as media interviews, social media posts, photo shoots, junior camps, junior talks, or exhibitions to help promote and grow tennis. These opportunities are not only a chance to showcase your skills but also to give back to the sport and help it continue to thrive.
