Junior Open Competitions In Other Clubs
Posted 28 October 2011
It is possible for children to play in Open Tennis Competitions in lots of other Clubs from U8 age-group up.
To find out about these, go to www.leinstertennis.ie/juniors and look at the left-hand panel. Competitions are advertised here ca. 2 weeks before they happen. You can enter online or by phone.
It you want to play seriously you can get a Tennis Ireland ID number, which will track your progress from one competition to another. However this is not essential.
These competitions give children an opportunity to play against new opposition and they enjoy playing in different environments.
U8, U9 and U10 competitions are generally round robin format with emphasis on fun rather than winning. The competitions last 2-3 hours, with children playing a series of short matches.
