High praise for junior conduct at tournament

Tewantin junions Flynn Uechtritz, Phoenix Jackson and Flynn Dunachie.

Eighty-six young players took to the tennis courts at Tewantin over the weekend of 24 and 25 July for the annual Junior Development Series (JDS). Entries came from the Sunshine Coast and Brisbane.

Tennis Queensland referee Gary Bigg said he was very pleased with the overall behaviour of the juniors which was “excellent“.

“There were no score disputes and the tournament was played in good spirit. As well the competition was played in a respectful manner. It was a tribute to the players’ coaches for the quality of the behaviour. I’d like to thank the coaches for the good job they have done to bring the players to this level.”

The JDS is a tournament for beginner to intermediate players. It is designed to give players their first experience in playing a series of tournaments conducted around Australia throughout the year.A large number of volunteers at the club assisted in court preparation and provision of food to ensure the tournament success.
