Last weekend, 67 young players took to the tennis courts at Tewantin Junior Development Series (JDS). Entries came from the Sunshine Coast, Maryborough, Caboolture and Brisbane. Despite the wet weather and gale force winds prior to the tournament and the strong winds during the Saturday events, the junior players stepped up to the challenges.
Tennis Australia Referee, Eric Pretty, said: “It was inspirational to see such a great bunch of young kids finally playing tournaments. I hope to see them in future events as their strength and experience in the sport grows”.
Junior Development Series tournaments are designed for the junior tennis player’s first introduction into tournament tennis. The JDS is a tournament for beginner to intermediate players. The tournaments are conducted around Australia.
Club volunteers kept the courts in good shape for the tournament while many assisted with the food and drinks.
