Aegon Team Tennis, the singles based team competition for registered places to play has launched entry for the 2013 season.
Aegon Team Tennis 2013 will run from April to June 2013 with match dates in place to help teams plan their court and player availability long in advance. The league period from April-June helps venues focus on singles based team competition and allows teams and players to build momentum during the season.
Team Tennis aims to provide players of all ages (8&U – Open) with regular league matches, against similar standard players in a competitive team environment. Teams compete on a County basis in leagues which are appropriate to their player standard. Stronger teams in certain age groups (12&U – Open) have an opportunity to compete outside their county in regional leagues.
Entry forms have been sent direct to your club but if you require further information you can contact your County Office.
