State Titles Events
- Athletes will travel in teams as a group departing Ballina airport on Friday, the day before the competition, and returning the Monday evening/night at the completion of the competition.
- Athletes will stay together in appropriate accommodation near the competition venue and travel to and from the courts in a team bus. Parents are very welcome and encouraged to attend and support the Representative Program in Sydney.
