The club is launching a new junior singles league based on the LTA’s Fast4 Tennis format.
The league is open to all junior members and matches can be played during Wednesday and Saturday club play. Juniors can play competitive singles with players of a similar standard.
What is Fast4 Tennis?
Fast4 Tennis is a simple, exciting way of speeding up a conventional tennis match. The fundamentals of tennis remain the same, but there are four rules that ensure matches are fast, competitive, exciting, and can be completed in a reasonable period of time.
The rules
- The first to four games wins. It doesn’t matter how you get there, just make sure you do before your opponent does!
- Tie breaker at 3 games all. At 3 games all a tiebreak is played to 5 points. A deciding point will be played if you reach 4 points all in the tiebreak.
- No advantage scoring. If the score reaches deuce, it’s a sudden death point. The receiver chooses which side to take the serve on.
- Play lets. If the serve clips the net and lands in the service box, there is no let and the ball is in play.
Sign up for the league
