Junior Box Leagues 2024

New JUNIOR Box Leagues

Important Notice

I am introducing new junior singles box leagues, which will take the place of the junior ladder. Please read all the rules about the leagues before entering.

Please be aware that by entering you are giving permission for your mobile number and e-mail address to be shared with the other players in your division. The contact details should be those of the parent

Rules

1. Players will be ranked and put into divisions with the aim of playing everyone in the division by a set play by date. Everyone will receive by e-mail a contact list for players in their division.

2. Matches should be two short sets - up to 4 games with a tie break (up to 7 points and 2 clear) at 4-4. There will be no advantages so sudden death points at deuce with receiver’s choice of side. If the score is one set all then there will be a match tie break decider - that’s up to 10 points and at least two points clear.

3. The match winner must input the result on the club website via this link. Please make sure you put the result in reverse in the relevant box for the loser of the match too.

4. At the end of the league season new divisions will be drawn up according to results. Players will be given 1 point for each match they play, and a further 2 points for winning i.e. 3 points for a win, 1 point for a loss.

5. Please do not enter unless you are going to commit to playing your matches. Players who do not play any matches in season one will be taken out for season two unless they have a good excuse.

6. Players are responsible for arranging their own matches and supplying their own balls. Please do not ask to borrow balls from the coaches.

7. The player who arranges the match shall give at least 3 dates for the match to be played with at least 1 weekend date and at least 1 weekday date.

The Closing Date for Entry is Friday 22nd March

There may be divisions in mini tennis stages as well as yellow ball if there is enough demand.

Please be aware that players under the age of 13 should be supervised by an adult when they are at the club.
