Junior Competition
One of the opportunities Royal Park Tennis Club provides is for children to become involved in competition and team tennis.

Royal Park Tennis Club is affiliated with the North Suburban Junior Tennis Association (NSJTA). The NSJTA aims to foster the development of 18 and under tennis players through grade based tennis competitions on both Friday nights and Saturday mornings. Players are graded into appropriate levels of abilities rather than specific age groups. These range from entry level beginners in D grade through to competent players in A grade. Matches are played on a home and away basis over 14 rounds in a season followed by a final series for the top 4 teams in each grade.

Royal Park Tennis Club has between 12 & 15 teams competing in each season depending on the number of players available throughout a range of levels from A to D grade.
