JUNIOR Interclub
Junior Interclub is a competition open to all juniors (in Western BOP and BOP regions) through to 18 years of age, covering orange ball, green ball and yellow ball. Tennis WBOP runs two Junior Interclub competitions throughout the year:
BEFORE Xmas Junior Interclub (Term 4) runs approximately from October/November until December.
AFTER Xmas Junior Interclub (Term 1) runs approximately from February to April.
We aim each interclub season to start 3 weeks after school starts to give coaches and clubs enough time to sort out teams.
For more information about joining an Interclub team, please contact your clubs Junior Convenor or Club Captain, they enter teams. To find your nearest local tennis club – Tennis NZ » Find A Club.
