Created just for the Team Tennis Tour, the Fuzzy Wee Balls are here to help players focus on building their game for the long term.
They do this by rewarding players for positive on court behaviours (e.g - players who show great sportsmanship or resilience), great efforts (e.g - players who attempt to approach the net or chase down every single ball) and brilliant play (e.g - players who show tactical intention or making use of spins with their shots).
At the end of every Team Tennis Tour event, the Fuzzy Wee Balls will be awarded to teams who will earn bonus points as a result. These bonus points will count towards the Tour Table just like points won during a match.
This is one of the ways that the Team Tennis Tour is designed to value player development over just purely results.
Hope is all about NEVER GIVING UP and showing huge amounts of heart!

Hope can award FIVE bonus points to a player at each event.
Better get your running shoes on! Myles loves getting everywhere as FAST as possible!

Boom is the eyes and ears of the coaches!

Justice values FAIR PLAY and respect!
They keep one eye on the rules and the other on the court whilst taking note of players who show fantastic sportsmanship, respect their opponent and make it their mission to do the right thing.

Netty just won't let anything bounce!
They love to VOLLEY and are on the hunt for players who are making their way to the net and trying out volleys and smashes.

OH NO! Hook is on the loose!
Sadly, they don't like to play fair and love to watch out for players who also don't play by the rules.
Hook gives warnings first but, if ignored, can also STEAL FIVE points from a player at each event.
