Community Endorsed Tournaments

Community Endorsed Tournaments continue to grow in numbers across Victoria. Community Endorsed Tournaments do not form part of the Junior Tour or Open Series and sit at the foundation of our Open and Junior tournament pathway.

Examples of Community Endorsed Tournaments include; Club Championships, Club / Association Tournaments, single day tournaments or mass participation tournaments (e.g. Easter, Labour Day or other long weekend tournaments).

There is no requirement to have officials at this level of tournament, however, they can be arranged in consultation with Tennis Vic and Tennis Australia if required. In 2025, there will again be no sanctioning fee associated with Community Endorsed Tournaments. All Endorsed Tournaments will contribute to a player’s UTR rating.
