Super 10’s – ACT Region 2025
If you are interested in potential selection for Super 10’s Season #1 (May 2025) please Register your interest here (Closes April 13th).
Super 10’s is a competition for leading 10 and under tennis players in the ACT Region.
Super 10’s is an exciting, mixed gender team-based event. Played with green ball, the competition provides quality match opportunities and experiences for our young emerging players, along with the opportunity to compete in a team while receiving advice and support from on court team managers. 16 players will be selected per season and placed into Super 10’s teams. There will be two Super 10’s seasons per year.
What if I am not selected in the top 16 players?
Super 10’s Match Play is provided for up to 16 players who were unsuccessful in being selected for a Super 10’s team. Match Play provides a fantastic opportunity to compete against other aspiring and future Super 10’s players.
Super 10’s Match Play will be held during the same dates and times as the main Super 10’s season, giving players the potential opportunity to reserve for a Super 10’s team if a player is sick, injured or away.
