Super 10’s

Super 10’s  – ACT Region 2024

If you are interested in potential selection for Super 10’s Season #1 (June 2024) please
Register your interest here (Closes April  6th).

 

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.


Super 10’s Selection Criteria

Participation in Super 10’s is via invitation only. Players are encouraged to enter in the “Super 10’s Challenge Day” to heighten their chance of selection, particularly if they have insufficient competition exposure or results. Invitations for the upcoming season will be given out to players based on the following data:

Challenge Days (Trial Session)

A “Challenge Day” will be held in the lead up to each Super 10’s season. These sessions will be used as a trial for players interested in gaining selection into Super 10’s who don’t already have sufficient results from previous green ball competitive events. For those that do have sufficient results or ratings, there is no need to participate in a Challenge Day
