Saturday Junior UTR Pennant Competition

We are super excited to introduce the Weekly UTR Saturday Competition at Buninyong & District Tennis Association.

This is a fantastic opportunity to play against different clubs in the area while also earning a UTR ranking, which can help players qualify for Tennis Australia tournaments in the future.

Players of all levels and experience are welcome, as we provide opportunities to play, compete, and learn in a fun and friendly environment.

  • A & B grade will be 2 player teams with 2 set of singles (reverse) and 1 set of doubles for each player (4 sets of singles and 1 set of doubles per match, first to 6 games with a tie-breaker at 5-all).

  • C1 grade will be 3 player teams with 1 set of singles and 2 sets of doubles for each player (3 sets of singles and 3 sets of doubles per match, first to 6 games with a tie-breaker at 5-all).

  • C3 grade will be 3 player teams with 1 set of singles and 2 sets of doubles for each player (3 sets of singles and 3 sets of doubles per match, first to 4 games with no tie-breaker).

  • Orange Ball grade will be 4 player teams with 1 set of singles and 1 set of doubles for each player (4 sets of singles and 2 sets of doubles per match, first to 4 games with no tie-breaker), played with orange dot balls on a modified court (baseline brought in 2.5 metres and nets lowered to 80cm height). Games will be played so that at deuce next point wins. First serve overarm from the baseline with second serve allowed to move forward to service line and drop-bounce underarm if necessary. Orange Ball is aimed at beginners not strong enough to serve from the baseline. 

Each player registers for a TennisID and activates their UTR so that they can be added to a team. Every result counts towards their UTR
