Tennis NT Heritage

Tennis NT was established in 1980 under the incorporated name of the Northern Territory Tennis Council. The organisation changed its identity in 2005 to Tennis NT Incorporated and trades simply as Tennis NT. Its establishment was the shared vision of the founding President, Mr Max Horton OAM and a small group of interested tennis players. Their vision foresaw the need for a ‘parent body’ to assume a role of guidance along with the benefits of establishing relationships with the Northern Territory Government and Tennis Australia.
