What is competition tennis and what are your options ?

This is where you play for our club and compete against other tennis clubs in our district or association. Mt. Carmel Tennis Club is part of two associations being the North Suburban Tennis Association (Metro) and the Macedon Ranges Tennis Association (Rural). All the competitions have at least 2 seasons per year, with home and away games. There is no competition on long weekends, school holidays or public holidays, so the competitions are family friendly. You must also be a registered and paid club member to play competition!

What are tennis associations ?

These are the local tennis governing bodies that host, organise and run the competition element of tennis, they are volunteers and they are passionate. They cover everything from team entries, the draw and calendar schedule, weekly ladders, match scores, association meetings, handle all player enquiries and general development of the game. Feel free to browse their direct websites via the link below.
