Picton Tennis Club is thrilled to announce their upcoming Junior Grand Slam Challenge Series! This exciting series is based on the four main Grand Slam tournaments and will culminate in an end-of-year Masters event.
Each event in the series promises novelties and surprises, including themes inspired by the Grand Slams themselves. Get ready for the taste of Wimbledon with delicious strawberries and cream, or savor an Australian Open-inspired BBQ! The first event in the series is the Australian Open, and we have some cool activities planned to make it a truly memorable experience for all participants.
Players have the opportunity to enter both singles and doubles events, except for the 8/U red ball category, where only singles will be available. Throughout the year, players will earn points for entering and finishing events, which will be displayed on a ladder. The top 8 players in each category will be given the honour of being invited to the special end-of-year Masters Event in November.
But that's not all! Picton Tennis Club also hosts the South West Junior Tennis League, a fantastic team-based tennis competition held on Friday afternoons. All matches take place at our brilliant club, providing an excellent opportunity for junior players to showcase their skills and enjoy some friendly competition.
For our dedicated junior members, we offer a scholarship program that provides monetary support for tournament entry fees and travel expenses. To be eligible for this program, recipients must be under 18 years old, be a financial member of our club for at least 6 months, and submit receipts of tournaments entered and travel expenses for review. Additionally, they must participate in at least one club-run competition.
When it comes to tennis coaching, Picton Tennis Club has you covered. We offer an exceptional Junior Hot Shots Program, complete with yellow ball and squad options. And for adults looking to improve their game or get a great workout, we provide adult coaching and cardio tennis. Our coaching options include group, shared, and private lessons, ensuring there is something for everyone.
We are also thrilled to introduce our Hot Shots program for kids! Designed specifically for children, this program allows them to progress through three stages using specialised equipment such as smaller courts, nets, racquets, and low-compression balls, all aimed at facilitating learning and skill development.
And let's not forget about our school holiday camps! These camps offer a range of fun activities suitable for kids aged 5 to 12, regardless of their tennis level. Rain or shine, our camps are always ready to provide a great time for your children.
