· For the younger ones and new families who you may be speaking with, a reminder there are introductory competition grades for the young ones using a low compression Green Dot ball. The green dot grades play a very important role for young players to develop their skills by using a ball that is a little slower through the air and doesn’t bounce over their head. The upper age limit of this competition is generally 12 and commencement age is skill dependant.

TENNIS ID NUMBERS
ALL players in 2024/25 competition will require a Competitive Player Profile (CPP). This includes grades D through to A.
If your child registered last year, please feel free to contact Fleur Baldi on 0438 520 178 or Valley Sport 58318456 and we might be able to provide you with your Tennis ID based off previous registration details.
A CPP involves setting up a Tennis ID through Match Centre (Please record this Tennis ID number to use when registering for Junior tennis) then setting up a Universal Tennis Rating (UTR) ID and connecting both of these up to form your CPP.
This requires all players to create an account on Match Centre (tennis.com.au) if they do not have one already (many players will already have one from previous seasons so will just need to log back in to obtain their Tennis ID number for registration).
Here is a guide showing all the steps for players to follow. Please note in step 8 that each players profile will need an unique email address on Universal Tennis. Any players having difficulties with this process should contact Tennis Australia Customer Support at play@tennis.com.au or 1800 752 983.
HAVE A GREAT SEASON!
We look forward to seeing all the juniors enjoy themselves again this year while developing their tennis. Any queries please contact us via email shepplawn@gmail.com
Kind regards,
Shepparton Lawn Tennis Club Junior Committee.
