The spring leg of the South Australian Medibank Junior Development Series (MJDS) will begin in Tea Tree Gully on 21-22 September 2013. The tournament will then be followed by the City of Playford MJDS and Berri MJDS on 12-13 October 2013.
Whilst the tournaments do not hold Australian Ranking points, they add a crucial step in the tournament pathway for children looking to be involved in tournament play. MJDS tournaments have a strong focus on participation, with multiple playing opportunities for each child and the use of modified equipment.
Each MJDS will cater for children aged 15/u, 13/u, 11/u and 9/u. 11/u players will use 75% compression Hot Shots Green Balls, whilst 9/u players will use the 50% compression Hot Shots Orange Balls.
Children who participate and show a positive attitude, commitment, positive behaviour and enthusiasm can be nominated for the Medibank Junior Development Series Healthy Attitudes Award. Two winners will be selected each month between May and October, with the chance of winning the grand prize of a family trip to the Australian Open.
To register for a MJDS please visit the Tennis Australia Tournaments website http://tournaments.tennis.com.au/or contact the relevant Tournament Director.
