Competitions

Saturday Morning Juniors

Association Junior Competition is conducted Saturday mornings from 8.30am to approximately 12.00 noon. There is a Summer Season (Terms 4 & 1) and a Winter Season (Terms 2 & 3). Weekly matches are played on a HOME/AWAY basis and rosters are distributed at our Junior Information nights held prior to the commencement of each season. It is not compulsory children play competition, but those that do play often end up enjoying the game of tennis so much more, both on a competitive and social level.
Once juniors start playing competition, you’ll find that what has been learnt is put into practice. Those who play still have lessons to further enhance the basics and skills already learnt and may continue to have coaching for as long as they like. Before starting, juniors need to become a member of the Club they will be representing. (Simply ask us for a membership form). Once a member, children can practice as much as they like as well as joining in on Junior Practice Nights and other Club activities.
Please feel free to call us should you wish to discuss any aspect of the competition details further.
