Junior State League – Summer

Junior State League is South Australia’s premier inter-club competition for the highest-performing junior players from across the state. Running on a weekly basis over the summer season, it features both the Boys’ Junior State League and the Girls’ Junior State League. 

Junior State League 2 is a second-tier competition designed to provide a pathway for junior players who have excelled at association level, helping them transition into Junior State League. 

Junior State League is an important part of South Australia’s Performance Pathway, offering talent development opportunities and a path to progress toward professional tennis. 

Clubs affiliated with Tennis SA can nominate boys' team and/or girls' team to compete in either division or both.

All nominated players must have completed their CPP (Competitive Player Profile) and activated their UTR (Universal Tennis Rating).

Team nominations must be submitted online via League Manager. The nomination fee is $485 per team for Junior State League and $310 per team for Junior State League 2. Clubs that are accepted will receive an invoice once the nominations have been finalised.
