COACHING OPTIONS OFFERED BY MID CANTERBURY
HEAD COACH JACK TILLER
School Holiday programmes
Holiday programmes are a great way for kids to develop their tennis during the
school break. Holiday programmes run at the end of each term either one or both
weeks of the holidays. Holiday programmes are a great option for beginning players
that would like to have a taste of tennis or our more elite players that are looking for
extra training and point play.
Holiday programmes are $120 per camp or $35 per day. This includes Monday to
Thursday 9 am to 12 noon. This gives players 12 hours of tennis coaching over four
days.
Teen Tennis
Teen tennis is a fun and social opportunity for teenagers to start playing tennis or
carry on from Hot Shots coaching. The goal of these sessions is to improve player’s
tennis skills in a fun and social environment.
The cost of Teen Tennis is $75 for 6 sessions. These start the second week of each
school term and run Tuesday & Wednesday 5.30 to 6.30 pm.
5Adult Coaching
There are three options for adult coaching here in Mid Canterbury. These are as
follows;
Skills & Drills – Tuesdays 10am – 11am

coaching.

adapted to suit the individual needs of the player. Private group coaching is also
available on request.
Important: For all coaching sessions wear suitable footwear/clothing & bring drink

as to where the serve is going to land
All serves must bounce in the correct service box before the receiver can
return the ball
The server may throw the ball up into the air more than once as long as the
ball has not been swung at by the racket
If the server throws the ball into the air and swings the racket and misses the
ball, it is a fault
A player may serve underarm as long as the ball is not bounced first
Encourage players to serve over arm
Net Calls:
When serving and the ball hits the net the ball must land in the correct
receivers service box for a net call. If this happens you have that serve again.
If it hits the net and does not land in the correct services box it is a Fault.

GUIDE LINES FOR SELF UMPIRING
All players are required to self umpire

the ball was in or out) the ball will be taken as in. The point is not replayed.

In the case of Junior C where players are learning to self umpire, a supervisor
may support players in self umpiring and to ensure fair play

28Mid Canterbury Seniors
Any person 35 yrs and over is eligible to play Seniors tennis. Players of any ability
are welcome. Every effort is made to have people playing others of a similar ability.
The aim is to have fun playing and to enjoy socialising with other tennis players.
Mid Canterbury Tennis Seniors plays in the Canterbury Country Tennis Seniors Sub
Association Round Robin Competition. This is usually played on the 2 nd Sunday of
each month November – March. Matches are home or away. Teams consist of up
to 12 men and 12 ladies and we play doubles and mixed doubles.
As well as our opening and closing day tournaments in September and April, Mid
Canterbury will host a Seniors Doubles Open Tournament on Saturday 28 th &
Sunday 29th
March 2020 – all players qualifying for Tennis Seniors are able to enter this
tournament. We also play matches against South Canterbury Seniors on a home
and away basis with a game at the start of the season and the second in early
February.
Canterbury Country Tennis Seniors plays representative matches against other
associations during the year. Each sub association is asked to field players to form a
rep team. Matches are played on Sundays with some played over weekends if travel
to distant venues is required.
There are many Tournaments played and all affiliated Seniors players are eligible to
enter these. If you want to play tennis every weekend of the year you could. The
schedule of Tournaments is published in the Canterbury Country Tennis Seniors
booklet.
Seniors are also invited to participate in other competitions including Wednesday
Twilight, Thursday Sunset and Saturday afternoon Mixed Masters. Like Seniors
competitions, these are all doubles competitions.
Mid-Canterbury Tennis Seniors Subs
Players must be an affiliated member of a Tennis club in Mid Canterbury & must also
pay a fee to Tennis Seniors of $10 per fixture for “Rep” games.

29TWILIGHT TENNIS
Twilight Tennis is a fun doubles competition played Wednesday evenings from
5.30pm to approx 7pm from 14th October 2020 to 24th March 2021 with a break over
the Christmas/New Year period.
Teams are made up of three players (maximum of two men) ie the team may consist
of three women.
Each match consists of three sets. Each player plays two sets of 11 games each
set. The winner of the match is the team with at least 17 games won.
A handicap scoring system is used to keep scores even. If you win the first game,
then you begin the next game at 0 – 15. If you then win the next game, you begin
the third game at 0 – 30 and so on.
The competition winner will be the team with the most matches won. In the event of
a draw, it will then be the team with the most games won.
This competition is a great opportunity for adults who wish to get into tennis or get
back to tennis after a break. It is also a great chance for groups of friends or
workmates to get out and have some fun.
The competition is split into two sections so there is ample space for players of all
abilities.
If you are not able to make up a team on your own, then advise the Tennis Centre
and we will find a team for you.
