Eastern Region Tennis—Juniors
General Information
Eastern Region offer a wide variety of tennis competitions for Juniors in the Eastern Suburbs of Melbourne on Saturday (8:30am start) and Sunday (9am start) mornings for mixed, boys and girls combinations in either Doubles or Single/Doubles formats.
Teams are selected at the discretion of the Junior Selection Committee. Each team requires a parent to be a team manager to draw up a roster etc, and be a contact person for the team. Should no parent be willing to take on this role for a particular team, that team will be withdrawn prior to the start of the season. We look forward to welcoming parents who haven't undertaken this duty in the past to relieve the pressure on some of the "old stagers"!
Commitment to Play
Players should understand that:
- This is club tennis, rather than social or tournament tennis and the intention is to make new friends at the club and enjoy tennis.
- The selection of teams is not practical if players make it conditional that they play with friends. Whilst we will make every endeavour to accommodate preferences, consideration has to be given to similar standard of ability.
- Committing to play, means committing to a team, so any second thoughts once a team is created may lead to that team being withdrawn if players have a change of heart. As this is a team sport, this means innocent players miss out.
- If they think a friend may be playing and if this is important, they should check that is the case and not assume.
- If there is any information about playing ability that you would like the convenors to know and not guess, please make sure you write it down on the application form.
