Junior Competition
Our Mantra is to promote healthy competition being played with good sportsmanship and in good spirit.
Junior Competition is played Saturday Mornings:
8:15am Start / 12:30pm Cut off Finish Time
- Competitions offered in Summer (October to March) & Winter (April to September).
- All teams are formed and graded based on ability, not age.
- All our competitions are mixed compeitions - any combination of boys / girls to a team.
- Players must be under the age of 18 as at 31st Dec in the year in which the season commences.
Winter Season 2025 starts on Saturday 3rd May and runs to 13th September 2025 (Reserve day Sunday 14th September 2025).
Draws and Formats
Most sections are an 8 team draw with a bye, except for section 12 & 16 which is a 6 team draw. Sections 18, 19 and 21 don't have byes.
There will be 14 rounds and with semi finals (1v4 & 2v3) and grand finals for all sections except 12 which will have 15 rounds and just a grand final (1v2).
The idea behind including the byes was to have options for fill-in players from teams with byes. It is important that when asked you accept an offer to play as a fill in. This not only helps the team and club but helps you progress your tennis.
Code of Conduct
We are committed to ensuring a positive playing environment. All players and parents are required to sign our Code of Conduct before the season starts. This covers important behavior expectations and tennis etiquette. Please make sure you’ve signed and submitted it before your first match!

Junior Gala Day is a highlight of the summer season. A fun filled round robin event where all players from each section attend one venue, get to know one another and play a doubles only round robin across the morning, with the winners and runners up receiving medals for their achievements.
A best sportsperson award is also given for the player who shows outstanding attitude on the day.
Gala Day for Summer 25/26 will be held on Saturday 11th October 2025
