A high volume of match play is perhaps the most critical aspect of a players development. Every player needs a large number of matches to reach their potential.

For example:

  • Primary school students should be playing the equivalent to 50 plus best of 3 set matches per year.
  • High School Students should be playing the equivalent to 70 plus best of 3 set matches per year.
