Spring Junior Doubles Internal Round Robins
The Spring Junior Doubles Internal Round Robins will be starting up on Monday 30th January and will run for 6 weeks to Sunday 12th March.
There is a round robin age group for:
U9/10 - Year born 2013 - 2015
U12 - Year born 2011 & 2012
U14 - Year born 2009 & 2010
U18 - Year born 2008 - 2005
This year we have decided to run the round robins in a doubles format as the DLTC and Leinster leagues are played as doubles for the U12’s and U14’s and a singles and doubles format for the U18’s.
All levels and new junior members are welcome to play in the round robins which are a great way for the juniors to meet junior members, make friends and enjoy their tennis. They are also a great pathway to identify pairings for juniors to represent Elm Park in Leagues and tournaments.
If your child does not have a partner we will endeavor to partner them up with a player of similar level.
If your child would like to participate in the Doubles Round Robin please register their details in the link below by Friday 20th January.
