Powder Byrne Junior and Open Tennis Trophy 2013
ENTRIES OPEN
Find out more about this well-established annual postal event - see the links below
You will see from the entry form below that the Trophy caters for every age group from 8&U through to Men’s and Women’s singles plus Family and Mixed Doubles. Once again the event has LTA Grade 3 status.
For 2013, we again have 8 & Under (Red Ball) and 9 & Under (Orange Ball) events to be played initially as 17 one day tournaments between 14th September and 10th November, with the winner of each tournament qualifying for the National Finals.
Alongside the regular 17 regionals, we are also introducing for 2013, a ‘super’ one day 8&U and 9&U competition, using up to 24 orange courts and 16 red courts, at Queenswood School, Potters Bar (Hertfordshire) on the 7th July. This super event is a standalone competition and the winners will not automatically qualify for the National Finals.
The National Finals for all age groups, (minis and postal events) will take place at Bisham Abbey National Sports Centre, Buckinghamshire, on Saturday 7th and Sunday 8th December 2013. Bisham Abbey is an Olympic training base and has outstanding facilities, and is close to the M4, M25 and M40.
The winners will receive outstanding prizes, with all Junior Singles winners (from 8&Under through to 18&Under) being awarded full contracts with Prince for Rackets, shoes and clothing (www.princetennis.com). Maui Jim, the world’s best sunglasses are providing glasses for the older winners (www.mauijim.com) and all champions will go in a draw to win an exclusive Powder Byrne holiday.
Players may enter multiple events, including the 8&U and 9&U mini regional events, which have no limits to how many a player can enter in 2013.
Entries for the postal event close on Thursday 12th July, whilst entries for the 8&U and 9&U mini regional events will close 21 days prior to each regional tournament with the super event at Queenswood closing on the 17th June (see below).
