Junior Hardcourt Handicap Championships 2022

Dear Parent / Guardian

Reminder: The Junior Hardcourt Handicap Championships, will be starting on Monday 11th April with Finals on Thursday 14th April.

Rob Cherry will be running the U9s, U10s & U12s on the specific days allocated for each age group with the final on Thursday 14th April of the top two in each age category.

The U14s, U16s & U18s will run from Monday 11th with finals on Thursday 14th April.

These will be run as an elimination so the players will need to be available each day if they get through to the next round.

Categories consist of Boys & Girls singles and doubles over the various age groups. If you don’t have a partner for the doubles, we will endeavor as much as possible to allocate one to you.

Note: This year we have separated the U16s & U18s events but If there is not enough entrants for the U16 & U18 category they will all go under U18’s

The Handicap Hardcourt Championships have been running for the last few years and have been such a success with the Juniors, and encourages more children to participate in the Championships. They are a great way for players of all standards to compete against each other

Entry fee: 1 Event: €7, 2 Events: €12

Below is the link for the entry form . Please put entry fee in an envelope marked with your child /children’s name and put in the tennis box in the inner hallway of the main club house by Sunday 3rd April.

The Junior Handicaps will work as follows:

For U10 to U18 events, each player will be given a Handicap based on Internal round robins, leagues, tournaments and observation from the coaching team. Handicaps will be set at -30, -15, Scratch (0-0), +15 and +30. For doubles we will also base the Handicaps on the same criteria as the singles of each partner.

For example those ranked at the top may receive a -30 Handicap, which means they will have to win 2 points just to get back to 0 and have to win 6 points to win a game. Players ranked nearer the bottom may receive a +30 Handicap where they only have to win two points to win a game. The first player to reach 6 games will be the winner, if the game score is 5 games all, the player who wins the next game will win the match.

For U9 events, the scoring system will be tie-break points (1, 2, etc.) to make it easier to run. Handicaps will be based on overall levels of play, observed by the coaching team. Players with a higher playing level will start at 0 points and players with a lower playing level will start with plus points e.g. 3 points. The first player to reach 10 points will win the match.

Rob Cherry, Tennis Professional will be working closely with the Junior Committee on the rankings for the Junior for the Handicaps
