Junior Interclub Players
You will be put in a team of usually 5 players to play games against other Tennis Auckland clubs. Teams are entered into age categories. Games will be held at different venues each week within the Auckland area, (generally travelling distances are not too far). Normally, each week four members of the team play which will consist of one doubles game and one singles games.
Games for beginner grades are first to 6 and games in open grades are to 9 (tie break at 8-8). If you are new to interclub you will generally be entered into a beginners grade team. Note that Saturday beginner grades start 12 noon. All Saturday open grades start 8.30am. Sunday beginner and open grades start 9am.
It is also highly recommended that your team gets a team coaching session once a week (Mon-Thu after school). Additional team coaching occurs an additional charge and is paid directly to the coach.
In addition to interclub play, you will be allocated a Friday night club time with the coaches.
