WHAT IS THE GREEN BALL TENNIS TOURNAMENT CIRCUIT?
Events specifically for Hot Shots Green Ball tennis players, developed as an avenue for practical skill development opportunities, and competitive match-play experiences.
All matches are played on full-sized courts with the 75% compression ‘green dot’ ball.
2024 TOURNAMENT DATES & ENTRIES
25 February = KDV Sport
17 March = Pimpama Sports Hub
26 May = Queens Park Tennis
2 June = Gold Coast Seniors

Sunday 28 July = Canterbury Taipans Tennis Centre
4 August = Queens Park Tennis

WHAT IS THE FORMAT FOR EACH TOURNAMENT?
MATCHES: Players are guaranteed four matches on the day, although late withdrawals may impact this.
SCORING: For Main Draw Matches = one set, first to six games, with a tie-break to be played (first to 7 points), should the score reach 5-5.
SCORING: For Non Main Draw Matches = one set, first to four games, with a tie-break to be played (first to 7 points), should the score reach 3-3.
All games will be short deuce, meaning the player who wins the point at 40-40 will win that game.
Tie-breaks will be first to seven points with a two point deficit.
If it is a LET, the serve is to be replayed.
DO PLAYERS RECEIVE AUSTRALIAN RANKINGS OR UTR?
No – Australian Ranking or UTR points are not associated with any event within the Gold Coast Region Green Ball Tennis Tournament circuit.
Instead, players who participate in the Gold Coast Region Green Ball Tennis Tournament circuit within the same calendar year, will earn and accumulate points – recorded in the ‘Bolt to Brisbane’ point race.
The allocation of points available to players at each event within the circuit is as follows:
SINGLES:
1st place – 100 points | 2nd place – 80 points | 3rd place – 70 points | 4th place – 60 points | 5th place – 55 points | 6th place – 50 points | 7th place – 45 points | 8th place – 40 points | Second Round – 25 points | First Round – 15 points.
Points are not transferable between age groups or circuits or regions.
The Top Eight points race finishers will be invited to compete at the Coloured Ball Cup.
The Top Four points race finishers at the Coloured Ball Cup will be selected to represent Gold Coast at the Bolt 2 Brisbane.
HOW ARE PLAYERS SEEDED?
Seeds are determined through the circuit points race and the number required is determined via TA Tournament Guidelines.

Parents & Carers: Campus Playground Equipment Notice
Dear Parents and Carers,

The playground equipment is Out Of Bounds for children not currently enrolled at the College – including but not limited to siblings – and to students outside school hours, unless enrolled at Canterbury’s OSHC and supervised by our OSHC employees.

This will limit disruption to our students being educated onsite and moving around the campus.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.

Empowering Parents In The Vaping Conversation: Canterbury Information Session Webinar | 6pm - 7pm, TONIGHT Wednesday 17 July - REGISTER NOW!
Empowering Parents In The Vaping Conversation: Canterbury Information Session Webinar | 6pm - 7pm, TONIGHT Wednesday 17 July - REGISTER NOW!
Dear Parents/Carers,
THERE IS STILL TIME TO REGISTER!
There has been much activity in the press in recent months about the growing issue of vaping among young people in the Australian community.
Data from the Alcohol and Drug Foundation suggests that in 2022-2023 19.8% of people over the age of 14 have used an e-cigarette and 9.7% teens (14-17 years old) have used vapes in the last year.
This is an accelerating social trend, and Canterbury is taking a 'front foot' approach, in keeping with our hardline stance against vaping on campus.
We have significant concerns about the impact of this trend on our young people.
Vaping involves inhaling aerosol produced by an e-cigarette or similar device.
This aerosol often contains harmful substances, including nicotine, which is highly addictive and can negatively affect adolescent brain development.
Additionally, many vaping products contain other dangerous chemicals and can be easily disguised, making them particularly challenging to monitor and control.
In an effort to support our students and families, Canterbury has taken a number of steps around this issue.
We have a strict ‘zero-tolerance’ policy within our school for the use of vapes.
We have vape detectors installed in most bathrooms, with more installations occurring this semester.
We have also recently engaged with an organisation called Blurred Minds to enhance the understanding of both our students and families about the risks of vaping, and the possible causes of young people continuing to experiment with them.
Early this term, we have engaged Blurred Minds to present to both families and students.
Please see details of these sessions below:
Parent/Carer Information Session:
• When: 6pm - 7pm, TONIGHT Wednesday 17 July 2024.
• Where: ONLINE = CLICK HERE TO REGISTER NOW.
• Who: For ALL Canterbury Parents/Carers/Families.
• What: Information about vaping in young people, strategies for how to have conversations with young people about this issue, and places to go for further information and support.
Student Information Sessions:
• When: TOMORROW Thursday 18 July 2024 during the school day.
• Where: Canterbury Performing Arts Theatre.
• Who: 60-minute session for Years 7/8 and 9/10, and a 90-minute session for Years 11/12.
• What: Information about vaping in young people, strategies for how to have conversations with peers about this issue and the associate peer pressure, and places to go for further information and support.
Please continue conversations about healthy choices with your children after these sessions.
Kind regards
Mrs Rebecca Adamson - Head of Senior School
Mr Tory Mills - Assistant Head of Senior School (Wellbeing)
