Our club coaches will again be delivering a junior coaching clinic during the school holidays, which is always hugely popular. The cost will be $20, but numbers are limited so contact Kelsey if interested

The PTTA coaching team have been valued partners in supporting the growth of our Club for almost a decade now.

We are proud of our Club commitment to “FAIR PLAY”

At East Croydon Kilsyth Tennis Club, we know that our members join the club to play tennis for a variety of reasons.

Many of our members simply enjoy playing social tennis with friends and family. They enjoy the fun of playing a great sport in the outdoors and gaining the benefits of physical activity, fresh air and exercise. With a bit of a laugh and a giggle along the way. Please refer to our Court Usage Plan to check on court availability if you plan a hit with family or friends.

We have a mixture of both senior and junior members who enjoy playing more serious competition. They thrive on the challenge of a contest - and the satisfaction that comes from participating in a contest that can help them become an even better player.

Competition and sport can teach us a lot about what it takes to achieve our goals in life. Self-belief, self-discipline, persistence and hard work are just some of the ingredients that come into the mix.

At our Tennis Club, our Committee and our Coaches are all very committed to the principles and ethics of Fair Play ……. Yes our members who compete in teams against opponents from other clubs hope to win - but not at any cost! Some of the principles of fair play include…

1. Respect - for both yourself, your team-mates and your opponent on the court. And respect for the rules. There is no place for abuse, intimidation, cheating or aggression at our club. And it’s about having the courage to respectfully call someone out if they are behaving badly.

2. Integrity. Honest and honourable with our calls of whether a ball landed in or out - regardless of the score or the state of the match. Being gracious, in either victory or defeat. Acknowledging good play or good effort from the opposing team.

3. Enjoyment from participation. Learning to gain satisfaction from knowing you did your best, regardless of the outcome

The coaches and parents of juniors at our club encourage kids to learn that there will be times you don’t win a contest. But you can learn and grow from these experiences…… as well as still having enjoyed the challenge of the contest. We do not want our juniors feeling that whether they have won or lost a game of tennis on a particular day defines who they are.

We want our juniors feeling optimistic and positive about playing the game. And learning how to be the best they can be…… And for most, that won’t mean being the best, but instead playing to the best of their potential.

Our club’s goal is that our juniors will grow up and continue wanting to play and enjoy tennis throughout their life. You can read more about our Club Code of Conduct, and the ten principles we encourage, here
