Het inspireren en verbinden van deze grote groep is een uitdaging in een samenleving die steeds meer gericht is op het individu. Tennissers delen steeds meer hun eigen tijd in, onder hun eigen voorwaarden. De samenleving verandert en de KNLTB verandert mee. Als aanjager van tennis in Nederland wil de KNLTB zo veel mogelijk mensen meer laten tennissen en er voor zorgen dat zij dat ook blijven doen. Dit doen we door alle partijen die bij onze sport betrokken zijn te inspireren en te verbinden, door de zichtbaarheid van en de beleving van tennis te vergroten én daarnaast goed te luisteren naar de wensen en behoeften van onze tennissers en verenigingen. Met grote topevenementen, als het ABN AMRO World Tennis Tournament en het Libéma Open, vergroten we de populariteit en zichtbaarheid van de tennissport. Door de inzet van verschillende communicatiekanalen brengen we de beleving rond het nationale en internationale toptennis voor het voetlicht en zijn we tevens gids in tennisland. Successen van tennishelden motiveren en inspireren, maar het werkt ook andersom: toptennis is gebaat bij een brede basis.

  • Perry Sport KNLTB Landelijke Competitie 2008
    KNLTB landelijke competitie 2014 EREDIVISIE GEMENGD – 0001 Speeldag 7 – donderdag 5 juni Tekst: Peter Klein EREDIVISIE GEMENGD 2014 Lobbelaer, Leimonias, Egeria/ALTA en Zandvoort door TC Salland speelt zich veilig, Thermoware/Barneveld na jaar terug in hoofdklasse Barneveld/Amersfoort – De vier hoogst geklasseerde ploegen op de ranglijst, Lobbelaer, Leimonias, Egeria/ALTA en TC Zandvoort boekten alle vier winst en sloegen zich naar verwachting naar de play-offs. Dit slotakkoord van de eredivisie gemengd wordt op zaterdag 7 en zondag 8 juni aanstaande op het met vier center courts volledig omgebouwde gravelpark van landskampioen Lobbelaer verspeeld. Met de twee punten van Thiemo de Bakker speelde TC Salland zich tegen Egeria/ALTA in veiligheid. Thermoware Barneveld nam na de promotie vorig seizoen na een leerzaam jaar met een 5-1 nederlaag tegen de nummer 1 van de ranglijst, Lobbelaer, afscheid van de eredivisie gemengd. Leimonias eindigde met de 5-1 winst op het gehandicapte Rapiditas op één punt als tweede in de reguliere competitie. Alleen als het met 4-2 won, zou VDSSolarSystems/Van Horne TC Zandvoort nog voorbij kunnen streven. Het werd echter een 4-2 nederlaag voor de ploeg uit Weert, die vijfde werd. Thermoware/Barneveld begon met drie punten achterstand, maar met een beter onderling resultaat tegen TC Salland aan de slotdag van de reguliere duels in de eredivisie gemengd. De kans op behoud was al minimaal, maar na het verlies van beide vrouwenenkelspelen eigenlijk te verwaarlozen. ,,Natuurlijk is het jammer na een jaar weer te degraderen’’, zei Barnevelds competitieleider Herbert Cramer bij de 0-2 stand. ,,Maar de eredivisie was voor ons een geweldige ervaring.
