It also provides a clearer and more scalable structure to support the future growth of the sport.<\/p>\n<p>Built for today, ready for tomorrow, the new membership categories are based on the primary way an organisation affiliated member plays within the Victorian tennis ecosystem:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis.com.au\/vic\/files\/2026\/06\/Vic-Affiliation-Venue-Category.pdf\"
