A new competition open to all junior players running Sunday mornings from 9:30-11:30am Term 2 and 3. Run by TennisMAD's Bill and Jack Madafferi, the aim of this competition is to have fun, learn the sport and build your competitive skills.

Juniors enter the competition as individuals and matches are created on a ranking system to ensure players are getting a competitive hit that matches their skill level. Play is week to week and no commitment to a team. 

It is fun, dynamic tennis. For more information or to register contact Bill Madafferi on 0419 572 210 or Jack Madafferi on 0401 649 950.

Our twilight follows a Fast 4 format and doesn't require pre-registration to play, simply come down to our courts on the night. Everyone is welcome to participate whether or not your are a club member. 

There is a small fee each week to participate in this social comp for non-members, or free for all members.

Our courts 1-4 are available for hire to the general public for $10 per hour. Or alternatively you can purchase a social membership to have unlimited access to the courts for individual use. It is expected that all players using the courts have one of our membership options or have paid the court hire fee.
