Important: Team Registration and Fees Policy
To register for senior competitions with Manuka Tennis Club, one team member who elects to be the Team Captain must make upfront payment of the registration fee on behalf of their team by the advertised deadline.
The team registration fee is $240 for the Summer and Winter seasons (approximately 8 game weeks), and $300 for the Autumn and Spring seasons (approximately 10 game weeks). These fees are inclusive of everything the club will provide such as Tennis ACT competition fees, court hire, lighting if needed, and match balls.
Please note that there are no refunds for these fees once the registration deadline has passed, so make sure you have at least the minimum number of players willing to play in each week of the season (for this reason we strongly urge having at least 1 or 2 more players than the minimum committed to playing regularly).
We leave it up to each team to divide up these fees equitably amongst themselves before the season, and the club will not involve itself in intra-team disputes about fees - but to avoid any such issues we strongly recommend that the total fee is divided equally between each base (regular) player of the team.
If you are having any difficulties with availability during the season, the club captain (contact details above) will make every effort to help you find fill-ins so you can get on the court, but any fill-in players must not be asked for contributions to a team’s fees.
