UTR Match-Play Tennis Summary
Universal Tennis Rating (UTR) Match-Play Tennis is a fun and social way for youth to get into tennis OR build upon the basic tennis skills they already have, or are currently learning.
The low-compression balls, smaller rackets and modified courts make learning tennis easier for smaller bodies over four stages – Red Ball, Orange Ball, Green Ball and Yellow Ball.
Best of all, young players can progress through these coloured ball stages at their own pace, with Match-Play catering to EVERY level from beginners up to seasoned competitors.
Newcomers gradually learn all the basic tennis strokes, rally strategies, and match skills and drills; plus even how to score individual games, sets and matches.
Experienced participants enjoy the opportunity to practice and bolster their competitive tennis play with other like-minded individuals.
Importantly, all young players will learn to embrace sportsmanship and competition in a positive and safe environment.
UTR Match-Play Tennis Season Overview
- Short tennis seasons where you can opt-in at any time.
- Includes End-Of-Term Finals with medal presentations.
- Play Singles and Doubles each week.
Colour Ball Formats
| Red Ball | Timed Matches | 20 Minutes Max |
| Orange Ball | First To Win 4 Games | 40-40 Next Point Wins Game |
| Green Ball | Singles: First To Win 6 Games | Doubles: First To Win 4 Games |
| Yellow Ball | First To Win 6 Games |
General Rules
- Parents or carers must stay off the courts as supervisors will assist with any issues.
- Any participants not playing will be required to assist as supervisors for current matches.
- When playing to six games, a tie-break occurs at 5-5, with the first to reach seven points.
- When playing to four games, a tie-break occurs at 3-3, with the first to reach five points.
- If the ball is ‘out’ = your hand goes up, if the ball is ‘in’ your hand points to the ground.
Benefits
The Canterbury Taipans value competing hard for every point, enjoying winning and being gracious in defeat, while trying to learn something from each experience.
Winning and losing can stir strong emotions for young players and it’s something that is good for them to experience in a friendly and supportive setting.
Some other great reasons to begin competing:
- You get to practice what you’ve learned during your regular tennis lessons.
- It’s fun and based around making friends and socialising.
- It’s a great way to learn the rules around tennis while developing match strategies and tactics.
- It’s excellent for physical activity while improving your tennis, motor and movement skills.
- It helps develop self-confidence and a sense of accomplishment.
- It teaches the value of effort and working towards your goals.
- And naturally it improves your Universal Tennis Rating (UTR).

Year 11 Wellbeing: The 'Party Safe' Program With Red Frogs Australia
Year 11 Wellbeing: The 'Party Safe' Program With Red Frogs Australia
Today, our Year 11 students participated in an essential incursion during their Wellbeing class: the 'Party Safe' program.
Led by the renowned Red Frogs Australia, this initiative plays a vital role in ensuring our students' safety in alcohol or drug-fuelled environments.
Andy Gourley, the passionate founder and director of Red Frogs Australia, delivered the program to educate students on safe partying behaviours.
Now equipped with knowledge of navigating various environments, such as after-parties and music festivals, students are prepared to handle potential challenges.
We hope this encourages meaningful discussions at school and home, fostering socially responsible behaviour among these young adults.
