Northumberland's AEGON Team Tennis competition is open for entries.

AEGON Team Tennis is a singles based team competition for clubs. It provides players of all ages (8&U – Open) with regular matches, against similar standard players in a competitive team environment.

Teams compete on a County basis in leagues which are appropriate to their player standard. Stronger teams in certain age groups (12&U – Open) have an opportunity to compete outside their county in regional leagues. Matches consist of singles and doubles rubbers.

AEGON Team Tennis 2010 will run in a 10 week period between April and June. This period helps clubs to focus on singles based team competition and allows teams and players to build momentum during the season.

In the 8&U – 18&U age groups teams are placed in divisions based on the standard of players in the team for that year. This helps to provide appropriate matches for the team players year on year. The Open age group is a promotion and relegation structure providing a clear and competitive pathway for teams.

Local Tennis Development Manager, Jo Cunliffe, is excited about this seasons competition,

" Last year's competition was fantastic and the presentation evening highlighted everybody's comittment and enjoyment for AEGON Team Tennis. This is from coaches, parents, clubs, volunteers and all the players. We hope this year's is as good if not better! We wish everyone luck."
