The YATT community are from across the state, and will use this platform to discuss all things tennis in a safe environment. Topics of discussion include tennis results, yarning about Indigenous matters, player welfare, supporting others and growing the number of First Nations people in tennis throughout NSW.<\/p>\n<p>The YATT will also give young people the opportunity for growth and personal development, whilst gaining an insight into a state sporting organisation. It is a way for Tennis NSW to ensure that young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people can participate in decisions that affect them, are taken seriously, and can express their views on their participation in the sport. This is consistent with Tennis NSW\u2019s approach to being a child-safe organisation and in line with the national principles.<\/p>\n<p>Tennis NSW will continue to aim for more accessibility and opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to participate and engage in tennis through educating clubs and coaches, enhancing talent identification, providing pathway opportunities, creating more playing opportunities through community events and leagues, and providing funding for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander tennis programs, equipment and coaches.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/airtable.com\/appcjSl5cjVUljMsK\/shr3enpv722DDD4rL\">Sign up to Yarning all Thing tennis here!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>National Indigenous Tennis Carnival Tennis NSW have partnered with Tennis Australia and The Wollotuka Institute at the University of Newcastle since 2022 to deliver the NSW Leg of the National Indigenous Tennis Carnival.
