interclub
Junior Interclub is run by Auckland Tennis on either Saturday and Sunday mornings during Term 1 and Term 4 only. It is open to players aged 18 years & Under. Players are put into
teams based on age/ability and are required to travel to clubs around Auckland.
Should there not be enough interest to make up a team based on your preferred day, we will contact you.
There are two Interclub competitions:
Beginner Grade Interclub - This is for players aged 13 years & under who have never played Interclub before. This will include players who have finished Beginner Coaching and/or attending Junior Club Day and are ready to move up the next stage of developing their game.
Open Grade Interclub - This is for players who have either completed at least one season of playing Beginner Interclub or are already playing Open Grade Interclub. If you have not played Interclub before and you are over 13 years of age, you will need to start in Open Grade Interclub.
To find out more about Junior Interclub, please read the following documents: What is Junior Interclub
Junior Interclub Player Briefing
Important Note:
As you will be part of a small team of 4-5 players, you must be committed and available to play for the duration of the competition. We accept that circumstances occur beyond your control such as injury or special occasions. However, if you have commitments that are going to affect your ability to play on a regular basis for your team, then in fairness to other team members, you are best to put your name down as a reserve.
Interclub is played weekly and will consist of home and away fixtures, so you must be prepared to travel. It is up to each team to arrange carpooling if required.
