AJP – IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Thank you to everyone who entered Junior Pennant. We had an amazing 135 entries and can confirm everyone who applied by the deadline has been entered into a team.

The teams have been submitted to Tennis Victoria and they are working through it all. 
At this stage we cannot confirm which team, grade or venue your child is in as it is subject to change by Tennis Victoria who have the final say.

Once they are finalised by Tennis Victoria they will appear on Match Centre. We expect that to be around early August. 

In the meantime the season commences on Sunday August 11th and we will hopefully have your shirts with your Team Manager by the first round. 

We look forward to another successful season.

Thanks
