Important notes on team registration and fees

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. 
 
Payment and registration details for the current Winter 2024 season can be found at this link

The team registration fee is $240 for Summer and Winter seasons (approximately 8 gameweeks), and $300 for Autumn and Spring seasons (approximately 10 gameweeks). 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 prior to 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.

After paying via the link above, the club captain will be in touch with the Team Captain to ensure the team is accurately registered in the right competition and to confirm any other administrative details.
