School Tennis

We arrange all school leagues, championships, challenges and tours on behalf of the school and its tennis personnel. The coach will accompany the teams and act as advisor, coach and supervisor on tours. MCTennis will assist the tennis personnel where and whenever necessary.

School Team Practice

During league terms, there will be separate school team practices in the mornings before school, which will be of no cost to the parent.

School Championships & Ranking

The championships are for any player who can serve and keep score. The player does not have to receive coaching from MCTennis in order to participate.

The championships take place twice a year (in the second and fourth term) according to the “Spider-draw Knock-out System”. It is the most accurate way of drawing up a ranking list. The majority of clubs, schools and other junior tournaments use the same system.

After the championships the players have the opportunity to challenge each other (according to the challenge procedure). These challenges are also excellent preparation for the leagues.
The primary school leagues take place during the first and third terms and are for the following age groups:

  • Under-11 Boys (Grade 1 to 5 boys can participate in this league)
  • Under-11 Girls (Grade 1 to 5 girls can participate in this league)
  • Boys Open
  • Girls Open

Family Days

A Family Day is a social day held once a year where the parent and child play in a team against other parent-and-child pairs. The main purpose of this day is to spend quality time with the parents and children. The annual Tennis Award can also forms part of this social event.

Progress Reports

Progress reports are prepared on request at the end of each term and sent to the parents involved.

A performance record of each player is kept and reviewed weekly. In this way, each coach is aware of the players’ performance level, even before they go onto the court.

Since every player is monitored weekly, the coach will (at the appropriate time) suggest that the player moves on to the next level. Such a suggestion is not made lightly, as it would also have cost implications. The parents are welcome to communicate their needs to MCTennis, and MCTennis will respond with the appropriate advice or action.
