Hi All,
The popular in house comp at Knox City Tennis Club for the summer (2019-2020) off-season is back.
First time Introducing prize money for the Winners and attractive prize for Runners-up on each section.
All players, members & non-members welcome.
According to numbers will run the comp on Tuesdays & Thursdays or Thursday only?
Commencing Tuesday the 3rd Dec 2019 and running for 7 weeks with 2 weeks off for Xmas & New Year finishing the last week of Jan.
Commencing Thursday 28th Nov 2019 (This week) and running for 8 weeks with 2 weeks off for Xmas & New Year finishing the last week of Jan.
You are able to enter either the Tuesday or the Thursday doubles comp or both. The night starts from 7.30pm to around 9.30pm or when 3 sets are played.
Some people leave straight after play & others stay & socialise for a while. Cost for the evening’s tennis is just $6, which includes new balls and lights.
All players will be graded into a “comp” of similar ability.
Doubles format, each pair plays each other pair in an 8 game set. That is a set where each player has 2 service games.
Over the 8 weeks every player partners a different player in their comp, with the winner being the player who wins the most games over the 6 weeks. You can nominate to play even if you are not available every week, a suitable substitute will be found when you cannot play.
While this is called a “comp” it is really a cross between comp and social tennis. I think of it as social with a purpose! If you currently don’t play any comp, it may give you a taste for it. If you are involved in competitive tennis, it will help you keep your hand in during the off-season. All ages, female & male and levels of ability are catered for.
If you are interested, please contact me ASAP by return email!
Please indicate which night or nights (Tues &/or Thurs) you would like to play & which dates you will be unavailable.
If you are willing to just be an emergency, please let me know.
Cheers,
Paul Arockiadass
