Tennis Victoria is hitting the road to support volunteers, coaches, and clubs across Victoria, including Yackandandah, with the launch of the Sustainable Regional Tennis (SRT) Roadshow.
Building on the momentum of the SRT project, the roadshow will deliver on and off-court upskilling opportunities with Tennis Victoria’s leaders in coaching, programs, advocacy and more, along with information on new and expanded participation programs.
These include:
• Hot Shots Volunteer Delivered – building on the successful Community Play program.
• Cardio Volunteer Delivered – a new addition giving community volunteers flexibility to deliver Cardio sessions.
As part of the project’s investment, all new Victorian sign-ups will have their program fees covered in their first year, lowering barriers and ensuring volunteers are supported from day one.
The roadshow will be at Yackandandah on Sunday, 19 October.
The roadshow is designed for new and existing volunteers, clubs, assistant coaches, young local leaders, and community champions, with coaches and schools also welcome.
Tennis Victoria chief executive officer, Kim Kachel said the roadshow is another step in reshaping how volunteering in tennis is experienced and supported in Victoria.
"Through the Sustainable Regional Tennis project, we’re redefining what it means to volunteer,” he said.
“This roadshow is about creating supported pathways for people to get involved in tennis whether as a coach, club volunteer, or community champion.
“By covering program fees, offering training, and backing volunteers every step of the way, we’re making sure regional tennis has the people and programs it needs to thrive."
The Sustainable Regional Tennis project has already delivered key outcomes, including the following
