Four of Ingham’s promising junior tennis players recently travelled to Townsville to compete in the latest round of the Junior Development Series (JDS), a popular tournament format that matches players by skill level rather than age.
Scott, Macie, Miles and Riley represented Ingham Tennis in the day-long event, enjoying the chance to test their abilities against players from across the region. With matches determined by ability, not age, the competition often sees younger players facing off against much older opponents, making for exciting and unpredictable matchups.
While our juniors didn’t place this time, they gained valuable experience and thoroughly enjoyed the day. The tournament also offered plenty of opportunities for socialising with players from other towns, and the perfect weather made it an even more enjoyable outing.
The focus now shifts to Ingham, which will host its own JDS tournament towards the end of the month. Local juniors are encouraged to sign up and experience the fun, friendly and competitive environment the JDS series is known for.
