Welcome to our New Junior Tennis Program!
Junior Comp on Fridays is a "Learn & Play" format where rewards are recognized in a self paced level based learning. The comp is fully supervised by club volunteers, but parents/care providers are encouraged to assist on court if they feel comfortable. Juniors progress based on ability, confidence and maturity.
There are no teams, but the night does require numbers to make a crowd so to speak. This ensures that there is a variety of players to play with and against each week.
There will be a message sent on the WhatsApp fixtures group (sign up to group here https://chat.whatsapp.com/ENAfL6NaxhwL8TQziOJEQm) the day before play - please respond each time to help give the club an idea of how many courts to prepare and assist with supervisors etc..
Please join the group, if you do not wish to use WhatsApp then please let us know and we can try to arrange another way to plan your child's attendance.
..............................................................
It is very important that everyone aims to get to the courts before 5pm to get signed on to their comp sheets for the night. If you are late, we will try to accommodate, but we can not guarantee we get you the best night if you have been there at the start time.
Players play until the cow bell is rang at 6:25pm. Tennis balls are quickly gathered/scores recorded and everyone is to go into the club house for a quick presentation for the night. The presentation will take no longer than 10 - 15mins and as soon as your son or daughter receives their reward and you have updated your score card, the junior is fine to leave.
There will be reward recognition as certain total points/games are achieved by the junior.
There will be a supervisor's "Play of Day" reward given each week to each colour.
There will also be various rewards given in support of the program as well.
The most important part is the child is learning to play the game. Everyone likes to win, but more important to this is for the junior to challenge themself.
