Upcoming Tournaments:

Tennis Palmerston are excited to be running our first Tennis Australia Sanctioned Tournament for both Juniors & Adults from the 10th – 13th of April.

 

What Profiles Will I Need Before I Enter?

If you are planning to compete in any of our upcoming tournaments you will need to create the following profiles.

1.   You need to create a UTR account. Attached below is a link,

2.   Once you have created your UTR account I will need you to create a competitive player profile. Link is attached below,

3.   Make sure these 2 profiles are linked together once created. To do this you will need to log into matchcentre (this is your competitive player profile). On the home page once you log in, there will be a button on the left that says link to UTR. 

I would suggest creating both profiles straight away. Keep the username & passwords the exact same for both accounts so there is limited confusion. These accounts will last for the remainder of your life and can be used anywhere in Australia.

 

Palmerston Open:

Entries are now open for the Palmerston Open. You will need to have both a " Competitive Player Profile & a UTR Profile" to enter this tournament. Please follow the steps in the subheading above to create these profiles "What Profiles Will I Need Before I Enter?".

Players will be split into their appropriate groups and level abilities. I will talk to club coaches on where you or your child will fit best. Details for this tournament are listed below,

Date:

  • Wednesday the 10th - Saturday the 13th of April.
