The November/December leg of the South Australian Medibank Junior Development Series (MJDS) is set to begin in Gawler on 24 November. The tournament will then be followed by the Loxton MJDS on15-16 December.

The Gawler MJDS will be the first held over three Sundays, 24 November, 1 December and 8 December. Entries will close next Tuesday, 19 November.

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.

Players are encouraged to visit the Tennis Australia Tournaments website http://tournaments.tennis.com.au/ to enter or contact the relevant Tournament Director.
