​

Details:

​

• The Junior Winter season starts on May 2nd 2026 with Grand finals on September 5th 2026; there is no play during the King’s birthday weekend (June 6) and middle weekend of the school holidays (July 4).
   

• Matches are Saturday mornings, either at Geelong Lawn TC or at a local club. 
   

• Matches generally start at 8am, 9am or 10am and take 1.5-2 hours to complete.
   

• Yellow ball, Green ball and Orange ball sections are available.
   

• The Yellow ball competition is divided into girls only sections and boys/mixed sections. Girls are normally automatically put in girls sections unless requested otherwise.  Green and Orange ball are mixed sections.
   

• Format is a team of 4 to 6 players of similar level rotating on the roster with 4 players playing each match; each round consists of 4 singles sets and 2 doubles sets. Players who are entered in a team are expected to be available for the whole season however if you are away or unavailable sometimes, that is ok, as 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. 
   

• 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.
   

• 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.
   

• Cost is $35 for the whole season as well as a current junior tennis membership. Fees have to be fully paid before the start of the season to be able to participate.
