Tennis NSW is the largest of the eight state and territory member associations and currently supports 500 Clubs, Associations and Court Operators and over 100,000 registered participants.<\/p>\n

It is Tennis NSW\u2019s role to coordinate, manage and promote the sport of tennis in NSW and in doing so, support and service our Members. Our core purpose is to help everyone in NSW have fun playing tennis for life (more people playing more tennis for longer).<\/p>\n

The Tennis NSW organisational structure is based around six key business units with access to a shared services team provided by Tennis Australia (TA) based in Melbourne, VIC.\u00a0 A number of the NSW teams also include TA staff based in NSW which are integrated into the structure as well.<\/p>\n
