Nepean District Tennis Aossociation Newsletter - March 2012

This extremely popular junior tournament is scheduled for Sunday 6th May 2012 at our Woodriff Gardens courts, and we encourage all local juniors to enter.
The tournament is part of the Central West MJDS series, and consists of singles events in 21 and under, 16 and under, 14 and under, 12 and under, and 10 and under age groups, for boys and girls (age as at 31st October 2012).
The format of play is round robin, so you’re guaranteed a minimum of at least 4 sets (a lot more if you progress through the playoffs). Players come from everywhere, so it’s a really good opportunity to play different (and better) players.

The Autumn team competitions are making excellent progress as we enter the school holiday break, while the term 1 singles competitions have all been completed and we are now calling for entries for term 2:

Saturday Afternoon Mixed

With two rounds to go, all five teams are still in the running in division 1, while in division 2 the two teams who came down from division 1 are the pacesetters. Some players still need to complete their Association memberships for 2012.

Night Mixed

Division 1 is progressing very well on Wednesday night, while division 2 on Monday night has fallen to a very critical low of three teams. The three teams are extremely keen, so we need to build this up again for the next competition.
