With a clear focus on participation, inclusion, and connection, the club works proactively to create enjoyable opportunities for people of all ages and abilities to take part in the sport.<\/p>\n<p>Catering to all levels of play, the club provides a welcoming and inclusive environment for both competitive and social players. Junior and senior teams compete regularly in Saturday competitions, complemented by a well-supported Thursday Ladies competition. In addition, the popular Spring and Autumn twilight formats offer a relaxed and social setting that brings members together both on and off the court. The introduction of a winter competition this year further reflects the club\u2019s forward-thinking approach, ensuring members can stay active and engaged year-round.<\/p>\n<p>Volunteers are at the heart of the Echuca Lawn Tennis Club\u2019s success. Under the leadership of President Roger Carmody, the committee and wider volunteer base bring energy, ideas, and a strong sense of commitment to everything they do. Their dedication is particularly evident in the club\u2019s annual Easter Tournament, which this year celebrated its 98th running, a remarkable achievement that highlights the strength of its traditions, community spirit, and volunteer culture.<\/p>\n<p>Driven by a shared passion for tennis and a strong sense of community, Echuca Lawn Tennis Club continues to be a welcoming hub where people connect, participate, and contribute. It remains a place where tennis not only thrives, but also plays an important role in strengthening local relationships and community wellbeing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"attachment_43775\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-43775\" class=\"wp-image-43775 size-standard-landscape\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tennis.com.au\/vic\/files\/2026\/05\/May-be-an-image-of-tennis-player-football-and-frisbee-700x450.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tennis.com.au\/vic\/files\/2026\/05\/May-be-an-image-of-tennis-player-football-and-frisbee-700x450.png 700w, https:\/\/www.tennis.com.au\/vic\/files\/2026\/05\/May-be-an-image-of-tennis-player-football-and-frisbee-360x230.png 360w, https:\/\/www.tennis.com.au\/vic\/files\/2026\/05\/May-be-an-image-of-tennis-player-football-and-frisbee-200x128.png 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-43775\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">President Roger Carmody<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Echuca Lawn Tennis Club is a strong and dedicated regional club that continually seeks new ways to grow, improve, and support its community through tennis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6423,"featured_media":43773,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[57,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-43772","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-competitive-play","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tennis.com.au\/vic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43772","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tennis.com.au\/vic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tennis.com.au\/vic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tennis.com.au\/vic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6423"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tennis.com.au\/vic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=43772"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.tennis.com.au\/vic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43772\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tennis.com.au\/vic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/43773"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tennis.com.au\/vic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=43772"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tennis.com.au\/vic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=43772"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tennis.com.au\/vic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=43772"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
