The venue, Dundee International Sports Complex, will be an excellent venue to host these Championships as it boasts 8 courts and excellent seating and viewing platforms.

The centre is accessible and has numerous benefits to hosting this type of event. See a full description of the facility.

The Championships have been designed to give maximum opportunities to play matches and we hope that it will be a worthwhile experience for all involved.

All timings / courts giving in this programme are a guide, therefore, please keep checking your fixtures as your game may be earlier / later than advertised in the schedule.

There will be no official lunch break, however you are free to have lunch / refreshments in between your matches.

We would like to express our thanks in advance of the championships for everyone that has been involved in the day, from the organising committee, referees, officials’ desk and the staff at Dundee International Sports Complex, to parents/coaches and everyone else who has added those little touches to make the day run smoothly.

But to you the players, we hope you have a great day and enjoy the experiences of playing in such a great facility and we hope to see you again in Dundee very soon.
