Team Goals

All of our teams strive to win! The general rule is equal play subject to player availability, with some variation for league positioning.

Team Selection

Preference – You should indicate in the Registration Form your team preference based on such considerations as your skill level, availability, day and time of play in the week, and the length of the season. You can only play on one team, with the possible exception of women playing for one daytime and one evening team where players are needed. Priority for Women’s Evening Teams goes to players who cannot also play Women’s Daytime Teams provided they meet the minimum level of play for that team.

Selection Criteria – Selection of the teams will be based on a variety of criteria, including: previous tennis team experience, Wanless tournament success, availability for matches and practices (70% target), a skills assessment (as may be required), and similar considerations.

Team Captain(s) – After the team has been selected, we will solicit volunteer co-captains. If more than two players volunteer, there will be a team vote to select their co-captains. If there are insufficient volunteers, then there will be a team nomination process.

Practices – Team captains, in consultation with their teams, will decide whether to hold practices and the format. Teams wishing to have coached practices will make arrangements as to the date and time directly with the Club Head Pro or one of the Club Pros. The cost of coached practices will be $25 per person for a 2-hour practice.

Skills Assessment – There will not be an across-the-board skills assessment of all players this year. Instead, after receipt of the Registrations, registrants needing a skills assessment will be notified, e.g., players new to the Club, wishing to move up a level, or who were played infrequently the previous season. The skills assessments will be run as Pre-Season Team Events (see below), and will be supervised by one of the Club Pros.

Pre-Season Team Events – The Pre-Season Team Events are an opportunity to get your feet back on the Wanless courts and for the Club Pros to conduct informal skills assessments, as may be needed. All registrants are encouraged to attend one of these events. Registrants needing a skills assessment should attend one of these events and, if not able to do so, should contact the Club Head Pro (Laura) and Director of Teams to make other arrangements.

These events will be held at the Wanless Tennis courts.
