Juniors

We offer predominantly a Summer competition. Junior competitive matches are played on Saturday mornings. All matches are finished by no later than 12.30 pm, with matches commencing, as programmed, at either 8.30 am or 10.30 am. Since the 2016/2017 Green and Orange Ball have been offered on Friday evenings from 6.00-8.00 pm; as well as Division 1 Boys and Girls.  Winter competition can be organized should enough interest be shown.

Our Summer Season commences in early October & breaks for the Christmas/New Year period in mid-December (slightly longer than the Senior Season). Matches resume in late January/early February with the season concluding towards the end of March each year. Teams compete in the Hills Tennis Association. "Home" games are played at our Balhannah courts. Approximately half of the matches are played "Away" at opposing club venues. Club locations range from Lobethal, Mt Barker through to Ironbank/Cherry Gardens.

Our Winter Season usually commences in May and runs through until late August/early September. This competition is organised and run by Tennis SA across a slightly larger geographic area although competition is usually zoned to minimise travel for competitors.

We offer competitive tennis for juniors of every standard and children get the opportunity to develop both their singles and doubles skills, including Orange and Green Ball competition using low compression balls and modified rules. Juniors with more advanced tennis skills are also welcome to compete in our Senior competitions.

The Club offers its juniors heavily subsidised rates for coaching - Hot Shots coaching only and playing-coaching - with our experienced/qualified coach(s).

All team managers will need to have a current Working With Children Check (WWCC) by law.  Contact the Secretary on onkassecretary@gmail.com if you need more information or to have a WWCC application launched.  Volunteer WWCCs are free of charge.

For more information, contact our Junior Coordinator(s) on the 'Contacts' page.
