Junior Winter Competition
Competitive winter junior tennis is played on Friday nights from 6:30pm to 9:00pm and on Saturday mornings from 9:00am to 11:30am in one time slot. The Saturday morning tennis is for beginners up to intermediate while Friday nights are for advanced players. The season runs from early May to early September with breaks for the long weekends and July school holidays.
Juniors must be under 18 years old as at the first match of the season to be eligible to play. MTC requires juniors to be capable of serving the tennis ball before starting a season (if unsure please ask our club coach).
Junior Summer Competiton
Competitive summer junior tennis is played on Friday nights from 6:30pm to 9:00pm and on Saturday mornings from 8:30am 10:30am and 10:30am to 12:30pm in two time slots. It has the same conditions of play as junior winter tennis. Both the summer and winter seasons competitions are run by NETA. The summer season runs from mid October to late March (depending on Easter) with a break over Christmas.
How Competition Tennis Works
Competition tennis is played by teams of four players who each play a doubles and then a singles. This means that each player should play two matches for the day. The matches are played against other clubs in the NETA in a home and away season. This means that every other week you will be playing a home match and an away match. The away matches could be at other clubs in your division such as Prospect, Elizabeth/Salisbury, Para Hills, or Tea Tree Gully etc. Players are required to wear appropriate tennis attire and bring a racquet. Tennis balls are provided by the home club on the day.
