a Base Player for any team and may be selected to play for a team in a match, subject to eligibility requirements.<\/p>\n<p>Reserve players provide flexibility to teams throughout the season.<\/p>\n<h5>Eligibility Requirements<\/h5>\n<p>To be eligible to participate as a Reserve Player in 2026, a player must:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Hold a <strong>Tennis Australia Competitive Player Profile<\/strong> (enabling entry into Match Centre), and<\/li>\n<li>Have an <strong>active UTR rating at the time of selection<\/strong> that is <strong>below the UTR upper limit for the relevant division<\/strong>, as determined by the Sydney Badge Grading Panel.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Following completion of grading, the <strong>UTR upper limits for each division will be published on this page<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>If you are unsure whether you have a Competitive Player Profile, or require assistance creating one, please refer to the \u2018Competitive Player Profile\u2019 section of the Sydney Badge website.<\/p>\n<h5>Expressing Interest as a Reserve Player<\/h5>\n<p>Players may express interest in being a Reserve Player by completing the <a href=\"https:\/\/airtable.com\/appRlxR8049fiFehB\/pagBg5cpdNKF1gTed\/form\"><strong>2026 Reserve Player Registration Form<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Completion of the form is <strong>optional<\/strong>.<br \/>\nPlayers are not required to register in order to be eligible to act as a reserve.<\/p>\n<p>However, players who complete the form:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Will be included in the official <strong>Reserve Player Pool document<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Consent to their details being shared with Sydney Badge Club Delegates and Team Captains<\/li>\n<li>Acknowledge that clubs may contact them regarding potential selection as a reserve player<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Submitting the form does not guarantee selection, and Reserve Players are under no obligation to accept an invitation to play.<\/p>\n<h5>Reserve \u2013 Base Player<\/h5>\n<p>If a reserve competes for a team three (3) times throughout the season, they will automatically become a base player for that team. The only exception to this will be if that team already has the maximum number of base players (12).<\/p>\n<p>Please contact the team at <a href=\"mailto:sydneybadgetennis@tennis.com.au\">sydneybadgetennis@tennis.com.au<\/a> if you have any questions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CLICK HERE TO EXPRESS YOUR INTEREST IN BECOMING A RESERVE PLAYER FOR THE 2026 SYDNEY BADGE SEASON. 2026 UTR Upper Limits Thursday Ladies Division UTR Upper Limit Division 1 N\/A Division 2 4.7 Saturday Ladies Division UTR Upper Limit Division 1 N\/A Division 2 6.0 Division 3 5.7 Division 4 5.0 Division 5 4.0 Saturday [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6323,"featured_media":0,"parent":11603,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-24985","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tennis.com.au\/nsw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/24985","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tennis.com.au\/nsw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tennis.com.au\/nsw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tennis.com.au\/nsw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6323"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tennis.com.au\/nsw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24985"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.tennis.com.au\/nsw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/24985\/revisions"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tennis.com.au\/nsw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/11603"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tennis.com.au\/nsw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24985"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
