Sunraysia District Tennis Association Winter Competition (SDTA Pennant)
Seniors
The SDTA Winter Competition runs from early May with 15 home and away games and finals taking place in September. Play occurs each Saturday from 1pm with 3 men and 3 ladies playing weekly on each team. Each player plays 3 sets of 8 games for the day: 2 doubles sets and 1 mixed. There are currently 4 divisions in the competition.
We are currently taking expressions of interest for the 2024 season. If you would like to play for Alcheringa, contact us at alcheringatennisclub@gmail.com for more information or to express your interest. We also require a good number of emergency fillin players so if you don't want to commit to a team but are happy to fill in occasionally we'd love to hear from you.
To participate in this competition you need to hold a full membership and pay weekly ball fees.
Juniors (8-16yrs)
Over the past 2 years the junior SDTA competition has been trialling a new format where each player has a club affiliation but plays in the competition individually. For the 2024 season the SDTA is hoping to return to the original format with club based teams entered and a full season of home and away games being played. This will depend on a large enough number of players participating in the competition.
If your child is keen to play competition tennis this winter please get in touch with us, the earlier the better, so we can gauge interest and keep you up to date with information as it becomes available.
The winter season will commence in May. To participate in this competition you need to hold a full junior membership and pay weekly ball fees.
To register your interest or for more information contact our Junior Co-Ordinator, Louise Oloffson, at louiseswenoloffson@gmail.com
Twilight Tennis
Throughout the year we run 2 rounds of social Twilight Tennis; one in Feb-March and again in Oct - Nov. It is played weekly on a Wednesday evening for approximately 6 weeks each time.
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, free for all members.
Individual Use
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.
