Uniforms.

Player Byes and Availability.

There are some teams with 5 players.  As only 4 players are required on match day, each player will be asked to take their turn in having a week off.  Your team manager will manage this and attempt to keep the number of games played throughout the season even.

Please give your team managers as much notice as you can if you are aware of any dates that your children cannot play.

Association Rules.

Div 7 play modified rules and use a low compression ball.  Their matches are played to 4 games (1^st to 4 wins).  There is a sudden death at the second deuce (ie. next point wins). They can serve under arm from anywhere between the service line and the base line.  After Christmas players are encouraged to serve from behind the base line with as close to a normal service action as possible.  Coach Dean will work on this at training.

Div 4 play Tie Breakers at 6 all in both doubles and singles.

Div 5 and 6 play first to 6 games wins.

There are no finals in Div 6 and 7.

Two home supervisors required for Division 6 and Division 7 as parents are required to umpire matches.

Division 5 & 6 should be encouraged to umpire own matches under adult supervision.
