What is the Sunshine Coast Tennis League?

The Sunshine Coast Tennis League is a weekly regional fixtures competition involving 25-30 clubs across the Sunny Coast, showcasing and encouraging the best way there is to play tennis in the region, in teams! Over the last 4 years the competition has expanded to over 100 junior teams and 600 players with match play opportunities for adults and juniors. To find out how you can get involved enquire within at your local club, as you must be a member of a club to play.

UTR – Universal Tennis Rating

Since the announcement of the partnership between UTR and Tennis Australia we have seen the considerable use and growth of ratings based competition. There is now a high percentage of events that utilise ratings for both entry and/or grading purposes which encourages level based play. Whilst the SCTL has used ratings to grade its players and teams since its inception, the SCTL is excited to announce that all eligible fixture results will automatically feed into UTR. This means players can compete in their local fixtures and keep their UTR up to date as well as potentially improve it.

The criteria for a match to count towards UTR is as follows:

• All players in the match must have a Tennis Australia tennis Account
• All players have a valid Date of Birth
• Not a match with Modified balls i.e. Not a Green, Orange or Red Ball match
