munster tennis regional junior leagues
Updated Published 17th December 2023 :
After much work Munster Tennis is very pleased to announce the official commencement of two new events for Juniors. The Munster Tennis Regional Junior Premier League and The Munster Tennis Regional Junior League. On-line entry for both these events will open on next Monday 18th of December and close on January 20th . Matches will start in February 2024 with the finals in April 2024.
All affiliated Munster clubs are encouraged to enter teams.
Munster Tennis recognises the important role and contribution affiliated clubs play in the development of Tennis in Munster.
The events are regionalised to reduce the travel required up until the Semifinals and Finals stage.
The winner of each regional league will qualify for the semi finals and then finals will be played to see who are the Munster Champions. If there are smaller numbers of teams in an age group in a particular region teams may play home and away to ensure that the minimum participation for a player would be 4 individual ties and 8 matches.

As mentioned in our previous correspondence, the overall idea is one of inclusion and the leagues are intended as additional events and are not designed to replace any existing events in the province.
The normal Junior Leagues are restricted to players outside the top 150 of the Tennis Ireland Rankings. WTN will be monitored to ensure that there are no obviously very strong players playing outside the Junior Premier Leagues. To ensure we cater for as many players and clubs as possible only 2 players have to be from the “Home” club as it can be difficult to get 4 players within the same age group in a small club. We encourage smaller clubs in particular to share courts if it allows more teams to enter.
In years to come we hope to have junior leagues in the province as large, as successful and as strong as the Munster Tennis Senior Adult Leagues. To achieve this and grow our sport it will take cooperation between Munster Tennis, affiliated Clubs, registered Coaches and Parents from all 3 regions in the Province.
We really do need your help to make a difference for all of our Juniors.
Together we are stronger.
