In saying that, the board has decided to conduct a review of the organisation in 2014 to maximise the return to the members. The guidelines include a review of the staffing structure and the cost effectiveness of programmes. I have been personally involved in developing a relationship with the Asian community and particularly the Chinese table tennis community in China. I have been successful with a sponsorship deal worth $100,000.00 for tables and equipment for TTA and spent time in China getting to know many of the administrators running Chinese table tennis in the city’s and provinces. The board made the decision last year to involve the Asian community and it is proved a very important and strategic move as TTA now has sponsorship from local Chinese business and mainland Chinese business people and is paving the way forward by improving the landscape of table tennis in Australia. The events in Australia continue to be a challenge with some doing very well and others struggling to be successful. While TTA needs to ensure the events are successful it is also important to attempt to keep a high standard and presentation so the events are attractive to sponsors and provide high standards of play the members expect. This year TTA is holding an ITTF challenge event for the Australian Open we expect the standard to be high and even higher in the near future. The Seagulls Club is still on the agenda even though it has been a long time in negotiation. By the time you read this report I am hoping the club is up and running providing TTA with a National training centre and vehicle to invite international teams and players leading up to the 2018 Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast. The Presidents teleconferences are still proving to be an effective communication tool and many potential problems are discussed with positive outcomes achieved. I feel the States are working more closely with TTA and our direction is more aligned than ever before .I thank the State presidents and their boards for their co-operation which is enabling table tennis to grow and flourish. This year the Commonwealth Games is in Glasgow and TTA is well placed to do well and gain medals. It is important to do well as the Australian Commonwealth Games Association is one of our major sponsors and the Australian Sports Commission has made the Commonwealth games one of our bench mark events for funding. A good result this year will be a stepping stone in our preparation for the 2018 Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast. TTA’s Para programme remains the highest funded programme for TTA. The Australian Paralympic Committee continues to provide fantastic support and with the new Oceania development officer based in the TTA office it will enhance the programme further. Sue Stevenson continues to do exceptional work and her advice and dedication are critical to the success of the programme. The board of TTA is a good mix of skills and Graeme Ireland will be missed as he is not re-nominating this year. I hope we get someone with similar skills and experience to replace Graeme so as to maintain the balance. It has proved a valuable strategy to have 2 members with Asian heritage on the board as they bring a different perspective to the debate. I thank the board members for their many hours of volunteer work and hope it was as enjoyable for them as it was for me. 4 2013 TABLE TENNIS AUSTRALIA ANNUAL REPORT I thank Peter Marriott and staff for their work this year as our organisation is constantly evolving and growing. This growth provides a lot of opportunities but also a lot of challenges. I feel we are managing this growth well and the board is well aware of the pitfalls. The review this year will highlight any areas we need to improve and work on to deliver better outcomes for the membership. My role as President and Chair of TTA is rewarding and I look forward to the support of the membership to continue to lead the organisation in the future. I am currently on the board of the Commonwealth Games Association and the Oceania Table Tennis management Committee. Being on these boards gives me a broad outlook and a more international perspective. Lastly I thank all the volunteers who like the board of TTA do so much work for table tennis in Australia. The presidents and boards of the States are the main source of inspiration to the membership and collectively we can improve the image and direction of our sport so it grows and becomes a major influence, not only in international competition but also as a recreational sport enjoyed by all cultures in Australia. 5 2013 TABLE TENNIS AUSTRALIA ANNUAL REPORT CEO Report Peter Marriott It seems like every report which I write states how busy the year was and 2013 was no different. The highlight of 2013 was Australia holding the first ever Oceania Para Regional Championships in Canberra in November 2013 which was a culmination of 2 years planning since

    2012 News Page 1 of 18 The Website of Maria Bueno, Tennis Champion 2012 NEWS ROGER FEDERER VISITS SAO PAULO, 6-9 December 2012 The Gillette Federer Tour kicked off Roger’s first South American visit in Sao Paulo, Brazil, last week and he was keen to involve Maria in the proceedings. The two met at the Player Party, where Roger was joined by Maria Sharapova, Caroline Wozniacki, Victoria Azarenka, Serena Williams, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and the Bryan Brothers. Roger invited Maria to hit with him so he could see her legendary backhand for himself and arrangements were made for them to take to the court laid at the Ibirapuera indoor arena. Maria instructed him not to hit ‘anything spinny’, to which Roger replied that he would play her like he does with his parents and afterwards admitted she was way much better than them! Later he posted a picture of them on his Facebook page, saying: “About to play tennis Maria Esther Bueno… she has won 19 Grand Slam titles (7 singles, 11 doubles and 1 mixed)… she still plays amazing!” As for Maria, she was just astonished at how well he hit the ball. “He sliced one backhand that sped off the court like it had skidded off a line,” she said. “I said: Whoa! What was that? And he just laughed! “It was a fantastic experience and I think he enjoyed it too!” The two players swapped gifts – she gave him a framed photograph, which she signed ‘You are simply the best’ while he presented her with one of his rackets, personally signed on the handle.

  • Tennis Australia Submission to the Joint Select Committee On
    Tennis Australia Submission to the Joint Select Committee on Gambling Reform June 2011 Tennis Australia Joint Select Committee Inquiry Submission Joint Select Committee on Gambling Reform Preliminary Notes to Terms of Reference In regard to the Terms of Reference of the Gambling Reform review as detailed, Tennis Australia would like to note that there are two very distinctive elements under review, that of the regulatory frameworks governing gambling and betting, and the broader social issue of problem gambling. 1. Regulatory review: As an opening comment, it is important to note that there is in reality a very low incidence of match fixing and corrupt activities within Australian sport, and that the major Australian professional sports generally do an excellent job in regulating their competitions and participants to the full extent that our powers allow. It is often the case however, that sporting organisations themselves have no capacity to police inappropriate activities. To address corrupt sport gambling activities that occur outside the jurisdiction of major professional sports, significant regulatory review is required. While the national and international governing bodies of tennis have in place stringent codes and penalties to deal with the participants in our sports and others over whom we have some control, we have no capacity to investigate or prosecute the corrupt activities of those operating outside our direct control. It is the activities of these criminals and corrupt individuals that have the capacity to bring the integrity of our sport into question, and significant legislative review is required to empower the legal system to take action against these persons.

  • Privilege in Tennis and Lawn Tennis: the Geelong and Royal South Yarra Examples but Not Forgetting the Story of the Farmer’S Wrist
    PRIVILEGE IN TENNIS AND LAWN TENNIS: THE GEELONG AND ROYAL SOUTH YARRA EXAMPLES BUT NOT FORGETTING THE STORY OF THE FARMER’S WRIST GRAEME KINROSS SMITH DEAKIN UNIVERSITY I It is the season. That strange game called lawn tennis in- filtrated the Australian colonies in the mid 1870s when the wealthy, in emulation of English cousins,rigged nets in their city gardens or in the grounds of their country estates and invited long skirted ladies and men in cummerbunds, white shirts, and formal ties to tennis parties. The flight of the balls over nets five feet or more from the ground was demure and accompanied by giggles, gasps and gentlemanly shouts. By the 188Os, those whose enjoyment of these physical dashes required for its satisfaction something more codified in the way of a game were beginning to establish clubs for players of like mind. Their endeavours were guided by the All England Croquet Club at Wimbledon which had incorporated the words Lawn Tennis in-its title, in 1877,and which staged its first Gentlemen's Singles Championship under rules which modified those of the modern game's inventor,Major Wingfield,and allowed for a net still five feet high at the posts,a rectangular court rather than Wingfield's hour glass, and the modern system of scoring. That all occurred about a century ago. So it is the season- for celebrating the birth of the game, for taking stock, for writing the centenary histories of Australia's earliest tennis clubs. In 1878, the Melbourne Cricket Club added an asphalt court and a tennis club as an adjunct to cricket,and laid a grass court in 1880.

Where sponsorship deals have not been reported, the Sponsorship Today team actively seeks data through web searches, annual financial reports and contacting sponsors, agencies and rights holders. Most sponsorship deals are not reported and, of those that are, the majority do not provide accurate fee or duration data. IMR estimates unreported fee values through comparisons with similar deals, contacts with industry insiders and through its long experience of creating sponsorship analysis reports. There is no guarantee of accuracy of estimates. The sponsorship industry is also known to overstate sponsorship fee values. Such reports are frequently based on the maximum potential value of a deal and might include the total should all incentive clauses (such as sporting success) be met and no morality clauses invoked.

    The three-legged race: A history of Physical Education, School Sport, and Health Education in New South Wales public schools from 1880 to 2012. Michelle Gorzanelli Faculty of Arts and Social Science University of Sydney 2018 A thesis submitted to fulfil requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) I certify that the intellectual content of this thesis is the product of my own work and that all the assistance received in preparing this thesis and sources have been acknowledged. Michelle Gorzanelli Acknowledgements Completion of this doctoral thesis was possible with the support of several people. Most significantly, this feat was possible because of the unconditional support provided by David Baxter, who always made himself available to clarify my thought process and offer guidance that extended this PhD into my professional development and career progression. My manager Associate Professor Kathie Ardzejewska was also very supportive in terms of my personal welfare, and development as an academic. Ben Kooyman was kind enough to undertake the editing work and I acknowledge his meticulous work and attention to detail. I am very much grateful to Mum, Dad, my sister Bec, and my husband Sean for encouraging and believing in me every step of the way. Without their support I would not have been able to manage study along with my everyday life. Sean was understanding and patient during the tough times and stayed by my side. To my little and beautiful soul, Kaden, you have been on this journey without even knowing it and my love for you kept me motivated and dedicated to making sure this achievement came true.
