NZ Nationals, 5 to 15 December

Tournament support for the XP NZ Junior Championships at TotalCoach Tennis Centre, Auckland, is now open. A Lavie coach stays with your player through the whole event, from the warm-up to the debrief.

Why this event matters to us

Lavie players have won national titles every year, and it's a big part of our programme. International success is what we're working towards, but making sure our players are at their best here, and keep winning national titles, tells us we're on the right track.

It can be a stressful week. Having a coach there who knows your player, through the nerves, the tight matches and the long days, makes a real difference. We're proud to watch our players compete here every year.

Full tournament support

12U and 16U events $900. 14U event $750.

  • Morning warm-up included
  • Your coach on site the whole day, courtside for every singles and doubles match
  • Match plan and opponent scouting
  • Written event report at the end of the tournament
  • Bye or no match that day? Training at a Lavie base, included

New: morning warm-ups, $60 a day

We're trying something new this year that we'll look to introduce more widely in 2027. For players who just want a warm-up option, you can book the daily warm-up on its own.

  • Mornings at the venue before your first match, or during the day at Blockhouse Bay before a later match
  • Booked by the day, only for the days you need
  • Open to players outside Lavie too

Who plays when

  • 12U: 5 to 10 December
  • 16U: 6 to 11 December
  • 14U: 11 to 15 December

Playing 14U and 16U? We'll refund the extra day.
