30 April 2018 | Tennis Tasmania

Following on from the scintillating summer of tennis throughout Tasmania (Hobart, Burnie and Launceston International), another season of the developmental Super 10s and in Hobart Tassie 12s was concluded following five weeks of stellar play.

In total 70+ players participated in Hobart and Launceston respectively, with the North-West Coast set to host their Tassie 12s competition in term two.

Following the finals play in Launceston over the weekend and Hobart prior to the school holidays we would like to congratulate the following teams who, through their outstanding play, teamwork and encouragement earned their mantle of the most outstanding team. Although the most outstanding teams and select players were awarded, its important to note that the Super 10s and Tassie 12s competitions are primarily developmental focused; meaning setting goals and working on improving each week is more important than the result.

• Team Hiskins – Ethan Clemons, Alice Fox, Ava Marik & Gabriel Murphy (Tully Parke filled in weeks 3-5) – Team Manager James Bolzonello & Mat Carswell

• Team Fader – Olivia Wilkinson, Sofia Elliott, Maria Kothris & Lily Harper, Team Manager Alyssa Hibberd

Tassie 12s – Hobart

Thanks for everyones support and assistance in making this competition another successful one and it was fantastic to see all players grow and develop throughout the five rounds of competition. Seeing all players engaged and excited, working as a team to reach a common goal is what team tennis is all about!

Finally, stage two of the Super 10s & Tassie 12s series is on this weekend in Launceston, with a two day camp/competition for a select few players from each region. In total 24 players will each represent their region to claim the inaugural Super 10s & Tassie 12s Regional Challenge!
