JUNIOR LEAGUE (PENNANTS) - SUMMER 2024/25

NEDLANDS TENNIS CLUB

NOMINATIONS CLOSE AT 6PM ON FRIDAY 6th SEPTEMBER 2024.

Prior to nominating please read ALL of the following points. 

  • All players wishing to play Tennis League (Pennants) must be financial members of Nedlands Tennis Club. Membership information can be found online at nedlandstennisclub.com.au/membership or by contacting the club manager via email at nedlandstennis@bigpond.com. Payment of membership fees must be made to NTC and NOT to TennisHQ (we are a separate business entity). Membership allows for access to available courts at any time, eligibility to play League, and free attendance (excl food) to Junior Club in Term 4 and Term 1.

  • League representation for the Club implies a commitment to play most weeks. Whilst every effort will be made to accommodate all nominations, player numbers and standards may provide limitations. On very rare occasions we cannot find a place for all players. If we are unable to find your child a suitable team, we will contact you and assist with potentially finding a placement for them at another local club.

  • When enrolling please include who your child would like to play with if s/he has any preference. We appreciate that most players would like to play with friends, and so we will try our best to make this happen! However, please remember it is based on age and skill level.

  • The league fee of $140.00 is payable to TennisHQ (BSB: 036067.  Acct: 737968, reference CHILD’S INITIAL & SURNAME-JLS24). Feel free to pay now so you don’t forget (one more thing out of the way!) OR pay within 7 days once your child/ren’s place in a team has been confirmed. Regardless, all fees must be paid prior to the commencement of the summer season.

  • The league fee includes your ball fees for the entire season, administrative costs, match supervisor fees and Tennis West league fees. This does not include Nedlands Tennis Club membership, which is a separate fee payable directly to Nedlands Tennis Club. 

  • Age limits for juniors are as at October 20th 2024. Players must be at the age or younger prior to the commencement of the season.

  • Teams/players are encouraged to come to the courts in their own time to practice. All players are welcome to join a squad if they would like additional coaching. Please contact us if you are unsure which squad is best suited for your child.

  • In order to play Junior League in summer, your child MUST have a Tennis Australia Competitive Player Profile by 6th September.

  • This involves (1) creating an account in Match Centre (matchcentre.tennis.com.au) to get a Tennis ID and (2) linking it to a Universal Tennis account to get a Universal Tennis Rating (UTR).

  • Juniors who have played League before might already have a Tennis ID and a UTR. If you know you have a UTR, you don't need to take any further action.

  • If you are not sure whether you have a Tennis ID or UTR or if you need to create one, please go to www.tennis.com.au/competitiveplay/create-your-cpp for instructions on how to check/how to complete your Competitive Player Profile. (Contact Tennis Services via play@tennis.com.au or call 1800 752 983 for further assistance.)

  • For those parents who are unsure if their child is ready to play League, and perhaps have questions about League, please contact Warren Vickers, NTC Junior League Co-ordinator and Head Coach, at TennisHQ.
