We welcome juniors aged 8 years - under 18 from the north west of Sydney to join our Saturday Competitions. Our junior competitions are based on NSW school terms and the entry cost is only $120 per term, which includes membership to North West Sydney Tennis (ETDTA). Majority of matches will be played at Pennant Hills Park.  If needed, we may place a team at the Midson Road Epping courts.

We will place you in a team.  You are not required to request team members. You can choose morning or afternoon, however the exact match time will depend on the division that you are placed in. 

Match times:  Morning:  8am to 10am and 10am to Midday - Graded

Xpoint and UTR

We use Xpoint Sports which will be of benefit to all of our juniors and giving guidance on grading for play in our competition and other competitions they may play in.

This online system will allow players to input their own scores online post match. 

It also means that results through the Xpoint system will contribute to a players Universal Tennis Rating (UTR).

UTR is calculated by an algorithm using a player's last 30 eligible match scores from the last 12 months. 

The results will typically be visible on the UTR platform within 14 days of the match results being entered into Xpoint. Please head to the Xpoint Sports website, familarise yourself with this program and you must keep your profile up-to-date.

Emails for this comp will be sent from noreply@Xpoint Sports. Occasionally, we will send information from info@northwestsydneytennis.com.au

UTR Updates:  Updates to UTR are handled automatically by the Xpoint platform and Oracle Corporation. NWST cannot affect the speed at which match results are updated on the UTR website. Please be patient.
