Across Queensland, regional communities are limited in their access to tennis coaches, which hinders their ability to engage in a sport they can play for life. Tennis Queensland’s goal is to develop a sustainable program within remote/rural/regional Queensland by recruiting local community members to become coaches and supporting a newly established coaching business.

Our Initiatives 

The Establish and Growth Initiative are the two streams of Tennis Queensland’s efforts to develop and support tennis in regional areas, but they serve slightly different purposes:

• Establish Initiative: This initiative aims to meet the immediate coaching needs in regional Queensland by identifying key venues requiring a coach and providing targeted support. Tennis Queensland collaborates with key community stakeholders, guiding them through the journey to become qualified tennis coaches. The initiative is dedicated to strengthening tennis participation by empowering local venues and coaches to foster growth and engagement within their communities.
• Growth Initiative: This variation of the initiative emphasises long-term development and sustainability by nurturing existing regional coaches and providing professional development opportunities. The goal is to ensure coaches not only start their careers but continue to grow and remain active within their communities, enhancing tennis’ overall reach and impact in regional areas.
