Registration deadline for the Winter season is Monday March 3rd. Players who are not registered on time will only be able to register as emergency players. Note all players in the competition must be under the age of eighteen years as of May 1 2025 to be eligible to play.

Players are grouped into teams of 4 to 6 players based on their grading with 4 or 6 players playing each week. 

Format: 4 players - each play 1 set of singles and 1 set of doubles. 

              5 players - 3 players play singles and doubles, 1 player play only singles and 1 player plays only doubles.

              6 players - 2 players play singles and doubles, 2 players play singles and 2 players play doubles only.   

Players who are entered in a team are expected to be available for most of the season however if you are away or unavailable sometimes, that is ok, your team will have extra players so you can organise a players' roster. It is not acceptable to pull out mid season unless you have a very good reason. 

Note this call is for orange ball, green ball and yellow ball players. At this stage, the orange ball season dates will be the same as the green and yellow ball dates - any changes in dates will be published as soon as they are known.

​

NEW Players: If you have never played in the Tennis Geelong competition, just give us an indication of your abilities on the registration form and we will contact you to organise a grading session or will liaise with your GLTC coach. If you have been playing or have played in the past, we look at your match centre stats to place you in the most appropriate section.  

During your registration, you can request to play with friends. We try to keep friends together whenever possible however this will depend on grading and numbers of players within each grade. 

Please check that the email address entered on the registration form is correct otherwise you might miss out on season updates.
