National Volunteers Week provides an opportunity to recognise the incredible people who give their time, energy and passion to help tennis thrive across Western Australia.
This year’s theme, “Your Year to Volunteer”, celebrates the impact volunteers have in creating welcoming, inclusive and connected communities through sport. From preparing courts and organising competitions to coaching juniors, running events and supporting club operations behind the scenes, volunteers are the heartbeat of tennis clubs across the state.
