Hi Team Stony Tennis
We are making a big change to the Junior Club Championships in 2024!
The Junior Club Championships is free to enter for all junior members of the club. I have been running the event for the past 14 years and finals day in September is one of the highlights of the year. We have in excess of 100 people who are either playing in the finals or watching, with the bar open and BBQ lit! It truly is a great sociable day with some awesome tennis on display from juniors through to adults.
A lot has change in the last 14 years as we now have loads more juniors and all at various levels. For this reason we are making a change to how we run the event so we can make it more inclusive for beginners and those who would love to play but think they aren't good enough while also making sure we don't have the same finalist in multiple finals which causes scheduling issues on finals day.
All matches prior to the finals will run over 1 weekend on Saturday 22nd and Sunday 23rd June. We will play all the matches in the age groups right through to the semi-finals and then after the event we will be left with the finalists who will compete on club finals day in September.
The other change is that players can only enter 1 age group for singles and 1 age group for doubles. We want the best players in their age group in the finals, but I have the option to move a player up an age group if I feel it is of benefit to them and the competition.
If you are a junior member of the club, please enter....it's FREE! After a preliminary round, everyone will be put into ability groups, so you'll get to compete against people of your standard which will make the matches far more enjoyable.
If you are not a member of the club and want to join, then please click here to register: www.ssltc.co.uk/membership
The schedule is as follows:
Saturday 22nd June - All starting at 9am
14&U, 16&U, 18&U Singles plus 12&U Doubles
Sunday 23rd June - All starting at 9am
10&U and 12&U Singles plus 18&U Doubles
Sunday 8th September
All finals from the events above plus 8&U Singles starting at 12pm and 9&U Singles staring at 9am
CLICK HERE TO ENTER
If you have a partner for the doubles then please make sure you write their name down in the appropriate space on the application form. You can still enter the doubles without a partner and I will pair you up with someone.
ENTRY DEADLINE IS SUNDAY 2ND JUNE
I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ACCEPT ANY LATE ENTRIES DUE TO THE ORGANISATION
If you have any questions then please let me know and we hope the new format will make this an even better event.
Happy tennising!
