About Junior Grand Prix Events

Grand Prix events are one day entry level tournaments with matches played best 2 out of 3 games. Players are guaranteed 3 matches but usually play 4 or 5. Players use a regular double dot ball and should be able to consistently serve and rally. Divisions offered are Girls and Boys Under 9, Under 11, Under 13, and Under 15.

A player who wins two Grand Prix’s must move up an age group for the remainder of the season. If a player wins two U15 events, they will be deemed to have graduated the circuit as there is no additional age category for them to move into and should progress to the Silver circuit.  Winners of all events will be invited to the end of season Grand Prix finale to play in their current age group.   

Rankings will be determined using the publication closest to 28 days before the start date of the event.

• Top 4 ranked players in the Under 11 division
