South Africa’s top girls’ tennis school teams will compete for top honours in the RCS Rising Star Tennis National Finals at Gauteng East Tennis Complex in Benoni, Gauteng, from Friday, 31 October until Sunday, 2 November 2025.
The girls competition will feature twelve teams, and the wheelchair tennis tournament will include boys and girls players from ten schools.
These entries include the winners of the RCS Rising Star tournaments from all of SA’s nine provinces, as well as three wildcard entries in the girls division.
The provincial events were preceded by district competitions, which gave thousands of young tennis players from hundreds of schools the opportunity to compete for places in the national finals.
