Northcote Tennis Club Junior Membership Fees 2024/25 Season
We have carried out a complete review of the Junior fee structure for the 2024/25 season as part of our review of the club finances.
Juniors have traditionally been quite heavily subsidised by other areas of the club. We are no longer in a position that we are able to offer this level of subsidy so the fees need to better reflect the actual costs of providing the services.
The fees for the upcoming 2024/2025 season are therefore as follows:
- Club Fee: $100 (this covers fees of approximately $80 to Tennis Northern and Tennis New Zealand, along with a small contribution to the club itself for administration and general costs of running the club).
- Coaching Fee: $320 ($20 per lesson for 16 sessions).
These fees can be paid upfront or paid in four installments of $105 over four months.
Midweek:
The Midweek Committee of Northcote enters teams in an interclub competition which runs from October till March at clubs across the North Shore. This is a competitive league held on Mondays and Tuesdays from 9am and has grades for all levels, ranging from Premier to C Grade. More information will be made available as we get closer to the 2024/25 season starting.
