Tennis Southland is an Association with a long history. Over the years as the Southland Lawn Tennis Association graduated from being run solely by volunteers into a company structure with paid roles, one thing has always remained the same - Tennis is a Sport for Life.Tennis Southland paid staff a& volunteers work tirelessly behind the scenes to provide tennis opportunities to all.
Tennis Southland currently co-ordinates tournaments, competitive leagues, representative teams (junior,senior and master levels) and co-ordinates coaching in schools. Tennis Southland is the umbrella organisation for the five Sub Associations areas of Central, Northern Western, Eastern and Invercargill. Ongoing support and colloboration with the Sub Associations is key to a successful and happy tennis community in Southland.
Our five Sub Associations (Central, Northern Western, Eastern and Invercargill) do a fantastic job of organising, promoting and running their own coaching and competitions. Tennis Southland place huge value on all the administrators and volunteers who continue to put in countless hours to make tennis (social, junior, senior) accessible to all, run smoothly and fun to play in. The dedication of these people has ensured the geographical challenge in Southland is not a barrier.
