Welcome to the 2012 Badge competition. Manly has a long tradition of successful participation in the Sydney wide Badge Competition.  Please check back here frequently for the latest news and draws plus links to Tennis NSW and Manly parking information for visitors.

With the club now having 15 Badge teams, a roster has been drawn up to utilise the courts we have available on Saturdays.  The roster will start this Saturday February 4.

Please study the Roster carefully, find out your team’s court allocation and commit to that time for practice for the next five weeks. Captains do not have to call and book courts. Please follow the court roster.

Captains and vice captains, please obtain balls from the court captain of the day, also water and ice is available from the back storeroom.

To best utilise the two hour time slot, captains should run drills for the first hour and play short sets of seven games, with no add scoring for the second hour. Captains are encouraged to try out as many doubles team combinations as possible, before deciding on your permanent partners for the upcoming badge season.

Good luck to all,
Owen
Club Captain.

MEN'S BADGE TEAMS 2012

Our teams for the 2012 Badge Season are listed below. This year we are fielding a 1/1 team.  Also we have two 1/5 teams.  With the influx of 26 new members, 8 of which have not played Badge before, the total number of Men’s teams is now 11, which are three more than in 2011.

This has had a domino effect on the lower teams, consequently many members are playing down. 

The selection committee have spent many long hours selecting these teams.  The teams below are FINAL.  No verbal response, or written correspondence will be entertained. When you signed up for Badge you “agreed to play in the team that the selectors placed you in.”  

Please in the true spirit of MLTC tennis players, commit to your team, support your captain and vice-captain, practice hard and do your best for your team. Practice will commence Saturday 28th January.  Captains are responsible for booking courts, and arranging practice time for your team. Courts are available all day Saturday from 11.00 AM.  Other times are also available during the week.

Yours truly,
MLTC  Badge Selection Committee
