In addition, the Super 10s program has transitioned to a camp\u2011based model, with players now coming together only 4\u20135 times per year for single\u2011day camps, supplemented by 2\u20133 interstate representative weekends.<\/p>\n<p>Collectively, these changes have significantly reduced the volume of structured, high\u2011quality match play opportunities available to 10 &amp; Under performance Green Ball players. The GBSL aims to address this gap by providing consistent, weekly competition aligned with the updated pathway.<\/p>\n<p>Target Audience \/ Eligibility<\/p>\n<p>GBSL is targeted to 10&amp;u performance Green Players who have been involved in Super 10&#8217;s and are participating in the Green Ball Series.<\/p>\n<h3>Location<\/h3>\n<p>Dendy Park Tennis Club, Breen Drive, Brighton East<\/p>\n<h3>Season Length<\/h3>\n<p>Seasons will run through each school term, around public holidays, Super 10&#8217;s camps &amp; State of Origin events.
