A Reserve Teams
The teams in this grade are made up of players across all the clubs in the interests of making this competition as fair as possible across all teams.  

Singles are to be played first, followed by doubles.  Doubles are to be played on the back courts so the front courts are available for Open Grade to play at 1 pm.

Players are to play in S Band order.  Any players filling in who already have a Match Hub code [and therefore an S Band] need to play in the correct S Band order.  However, new players who do not have a Match Hub code are required to play in the number four position.

Please ensure games are started promptly.   The aim is for all games to be completed by 1 pm in time for Open Grade to start.

New tennis balls are provided every second week.  Each week the balls must be collected and stored at the Tennis Centre. 

The gate & the pavilion will be open for players & spectators to enter.  There is no $2 required for entry.

Pizza will be supplied at the conclusion of the games & soft drinks can be purchased in the pavilion.
