Tennis Information
General Info
Tennis at NX is designed for students who compete at a competitive level and demonstrate a strong commitment to the sport.
Participation is open to both boys and girls who have experience in match play and are seeking a high-performance training and competition environment.
Teams are selected based on ability, ensuring players are placed in a setting that supports skill development, competition readiness, and continued improvement.
Tennis provides students with the opportunity to refine technical skills, build mental resilience, and demonstrate sportsmanship in a challenging and competitive environment.
Students with a strong interest in competitive tennis and a desire to represent NX are encouraged to trial for our NX squad.

Selection process
We go through a very thorough selection process to finalise our teams and players will be placed in a team that our selectors have determined best suits their ability and experience. While inevitably there will be some movement of players, both up and down teams, it is important to remember that this movement can be a result of the following factors:
- New players who didn’t play last year can also create movement for other players, especially if they are placed in a higher team, resulting in other players moving down to a lower team.
- Individual development and growth over the summer months. If individual players have put in an extra effort and completed additional training over the holiday, this can definitely show during trials, resulting in higher performance on the court and some movement between teams.
We understand that some students will have questions regarding the trial process and eventually the team selection – if your child does, please ask them to see Anna in the sports office.
As per our Sports Selection Policy, no correspondence regarding team selection will be entered into. If you wish to view it, please download the document at the bottom of this page.
Coaches, managers & umpires
Each tennis team will need a manager. If you are interested in being a manager for tennis, please indicate this on registration.
All coaches and managers are required to be police vetted by Northcross. If you are keen to take on one of these roles and have not yet been police vetted by our school, please email the Sport Department and we will send you through the relevant forms to fill out.
