Tennis ACT is proud to introduce the 2026 10&U Green Ball Points Race, aligned with the National Green Ball Pathway. This initiative rewards consistent performance across selected Green Ball tournaments and provides a clear pathway for ACT players to qualify for the 2026 10&U Green Ball Nationals – ACT Qualifying event in 2026.

How the Points Race Works

Players earn points by competing in designated Green Ball Points Race events throughout the year. Points are awarded based on tournament results (winner, runner‑up, semi‑finalist). These points contribute directly to selection for the ACT State Finals.
