There are four team gradings: A to D; and each grade has three levels: Special, Grade and Reserve.

Teams can be made up of: all girls, all boys, mixed (equal number of girls and boys) or unisex (gender numbers do not have to be equal).

There can be no unisex team above B-grade and must be mixed.  Occasionally a team needs to combine with another local club to make up numbers for both boys or girls.

A-teams play on Friday nights from 7:00pm and is a 3-court competition.  A-Team Reserves may play on a Saturday morning along with all other levels and these are classified as a 2-court competition.  Saturday morning times are: A and B-teams at 7:45am, C-teams at 8:30am, and D-teams at 9:30am.  There are some circumstances where times can differ slightly.

TEAM SUPPORT

The success of junior teams and belonging to a club relies heavily of parents and committee volunteers.  Greenvale Tennis Club recognises that for many juniors and parents, playing and volunteering respectively, in a competition sport of which they know little, is daunting.  Training or a 'buddy' system for umpiring can be arranged for brand new D-grade parents if necessary or requested.  It's important to note that, only D-grade players require parents to umpire.  As players progress into C grade and above, they are expected to self-umpire.
