Hope Ward Tennis Club Season 2024/25

You are invited to join Hope Ward Tennis Club for the coming summer season, and at our OPEN DAY at
the Club (Tweed Street, Cumberland Park) on

SUNDAY 18th AUGUST 2024
11.00 am to 1.30 pm

(FREE SAUSAGE SIZZLE from 12 noon!)

We look forward to seeing our existing members on Open Day together with any friends, family and/or prospective new members who may be interested in playing for the 2024/25 season. Our Club Coach, Heather ‘Heepsy’ Heeps will also be in attendance to organise some on court fun!

Please refer to the following Information pages which provide important details for the upcoming season.

Team nominations are required to be lodged with the Association shortly, and we therefore need to
know your intentions as soon as possible so that we can nominate the required number of teams in the
appropriate divisions. This season, all players must have registered and activated their own Competitive Player Profile in order to compete (Tennis ID and UTR linked together).

 

Season Information

JUNIORS

HWTC fields teams across various levels in the Southern Districts Tennis Association Junior competition. The competition comprises of teams in Yellow Ball (17 & Under as at 1/10/24 - standard ball/format); Green Ball (12 & Under as at 31/3/25 - modified ball) and Orange Ball (10 & Under as at 30/9/24 & 31/3/25 respectively - modified ‘Match Play’ competition). The competition is predominantly conducted over 2 session times on Saturday mornings (8.30am & 10.45am), with Premier League and Div. 1 being played on Friday nights at 6.30pm. The 8.30am session usually consists of Boys’ Divs. 2-9 and Girls’ Divs. 2-5, with Boys Div. 10, Girls Div. 6, Green Ball and Orange Ball in the 10.45am session. Please be aware that the session times for the lower Yellow Ball divisions are subject to change depending on the number of divisions being fielded within the Association, so the above session ‘split’ should only be used as a guide. The Orange Ball competition is conducted as 2 separate ‘seasons’ – Term 4, 2024 and Term 1, 2025…please refer season dates below. Orange Ball teams for Term 1, 2025 will therefore be organised in January.

SENIORS

HWTC also fields teams across various levels in the Southern Districts Tennis Association Senior Competition, in which matches are played on Saturday afternoons from 1.00pm. Most teams are single sex teams of 4 players, and the format involves each player playing one 9 game set (tie break at 8 all) of both doubles and singles. Matches are usually finished by around 4.00-4.30pm.

There is also a Mixed Doubles competition in which we are hoping to field at least one team (may consist of up to 3 male and 3 female players), with a format of each player playing one 9 game set (tie break at 8 all) of one mens/womens doubles and two mixed doubles.
