NEW Competition - Mixed Ability Doubles (Adults/Juniors)
We are trialing a new competition this year to enable competitive tennis for pairs that wouldn't normally get a chance to play together, aiming to bridge the gap between ability levels within the club.
Pairings can be made up of any gender combination, ie 2 females, 2 males or mixed. The only requirement is that pairings can only contain one player of a higher ability. This is defined as a member of Men's A-D Teams and Ladies A-B Teams. Individual entrants will be paired using the same mixed ability system. Juniors over 10 are welcome to join with an adult/parent, with the same rules applying.
S&P Priority Weekends
Another trial this year are S&P Priority Weekends. The idea behind this is to provide players guaranteed time on specific weekends to get their matches played before the deadlines, and to create social weekends where lots of matches are taking place simultaneously.
On these weekends, the periods between 1pm and 5pm will be bookable in advance of the usual 8 day window. Simply send an email to cwickp+ctc@gmail.com and Chris will allocate the desired slot to your match (if available).
The S&P Priority weekends will be released for general use 8 days beforehand, should members wish to play non S&P tennis.
The S&P Priority Weekends are:
- 25th May
- 29th/30th June
- 27th/28th July
- 7th/8th Sept
