Tennis NSW has launched its first Inclusion & Diversity Plan (2021-2025) that sets out the roadmap to making tennis the most welcoming, safe and inclusive sport for people from diverse backgrounds.
The Tennis NSW Vision 2025 Strategic Plan highlights Inclusion and Diversity in Tennis as a priority, and the role of Tennis NSW is to inspire, empower and engage the NSW tennis family to help grow the sport.
We believe that to be inclusive, we must reflect the diversity of our local tennis communities and that everyone should have the opportunity to be included and engaged in a positive tennis experience.
Consultation with stakeholders’ representative of the diverse tennis community has shaped the new Inclusion & Diversity Plan for the next five years.
“Tennis plays a vital role in the development of players and promoting social inclusion in NSW communities. Our Inclusion & Diversity Plan further highlights this and we look forward to working with our Clubs, Coaches and Councils to make tennis the most welcoming, inclusive and safe sport for all”, Tennis NSW CEO Lawrence Robertson said.
The Plan will focus on the following four pillars:
1. Lead – Build an inclusive and diverse organisation and workforce
2. Educate – Educate and empower the tennis family to embrace inclusion and diversity
3. Promote – Promote and celebrate our diverse tennis community
4. Activate – Provide pathways and access to tennis for players from diverse backgrounds
Tennis NSW would like to thank all contributors for your valuable time and input in supporting our team, and bringing the strategy to life.
