Competition

Juniors

Highmoor currently fields many junior tennis teams. With so many different sections being available to play, it is likely that any junior will be able to find a team at Highmoor, whatever their standard.

The club competes in Saturday and Sunday morning competitions in the Bayside area with boys and girls teams. Teams are made up of four players and each junior will play one singles match and one doubles match, both being one set each.

Please also note that once a junior reaches a high standard, there is no reason why they cannot take part in both junior tennis and senior tennis!

To assist in the development of our Juniors both on and off  the court, we have released a  Code of Conduct and set of Team Guidelines . These documents focus on the core aspects of participating in Junior Competition at Highmoor – we encourage you to read them in order to understand the values and culture of Highmoor.

Should you have any questions or enquiries regarding junior competition tennis, please do not hesitate to contact our junior coordinator and club coach, Damian Graf on 0412 295 658.

Seniors

Highmoor is able to offer many different options for those wishing to partake in competition tennis.

The club primarily competes in the Bayside Regional Tennis Association (BRTA), with matches taking place at 1pm on Saturday afternoons. There is both a winter season and a summer season, with small breaks in between the two seasons. The format can vary from season to season, but generally each player will play one singles match and one doubles match per round. Teams are of 3 or 4.

We offer men’s, women’s and mixed competition. Currently, our teams are of varying standards, which is great for new members as there is a strong likelihood that you will fit into a team of your ability.

Throughout the winter months, Highmoor can also field one or two teams in Tennis Victoria’s Pennant competition. In Pennant, the format alternates week to week from singles to doubles.

Furthermore, with lights having recently been installed, Highmoor will soon look to field teams for weeknight competition tennis.

If you wish to express your interest or enquire any further about any senior competition tennis, please field your enquiry to Glenn Collins, our senior teams officer.
