TEAM TENNISWallace Park Tennis Club offers

team play in three leagues:

Lakeshore League, Ladies’

Intercounty, and an Over 55

League. You must be a member of

the club before you try out for a

team. If you are not picked for a

team your club fee will not be

refunded. In order to clarify the

Wallace Park philosophy with

regard to league play, the following

policy has been established.

VERY IMPORTANT: If you do not

participate in the selection process

you will not be chosen for any

team. In extenuating circumstances,

and before the selection date,

please call Jan Tingle at 905-845-

5449 or Bobby Armitage 905-825-

9113 and a decision will be made.

For all teams no player other than

assigned team members will be

used for a scheduled match unless

all team members have been

contacted and the captain is still in

need of a substitute. No substitute

will be used unless the captain first

verifies via the Club Manager that

the substitute is a paid up member

of the club. After the selection

process, Professional Bobby

Armitage will email the teams to

elect their own captains. It is

important that the captain of the

team has full responsibility for who

shall play in the matches and match

pairings.

Refreshments for the matches

should be provided equally by

women and men.

We appreciate your interest in

representing your club in the

leagues and wish you good luck
