  • Your Club and Tennis Ireland Growing the Game Together
    Your Club and Tennis Ireland Growing the game together Your Club and Tennis Ireland - Growing the game together Message from the Chief Executive, Our organisation and our sport is undergoing a period of evolution. It has faced and continues to face many challenges but together we can achieve great things. My vision is clear and it focuses on putting the clubs and its members first. As we search to find the perfect balance between clubs big and small, located north and south, east and west, we must always protect the interests of the game we love and cherish. As I travel around the country, I have seen with my own eyes how clubs have developed their facilities. I see people, young and not so old, playing the sport on a regular basis and competing in local, regional and national competitions. I see coaches offering their expertise to our members. I see the great work that is taking place in the Regional and National Academies and players such as Simon Carr, Georgia Drummy and James McGee competing at Grand Slams. I look forward to Irish Tennis hosting International Tennis Federation Tournaments at Junior and Senior level later this year so that our best players can play on home soil and earn world Ranking Points in order to further their careers and hopefully inspire the next generation of players. This level of progress doesn’t happen by chance – it is the result of people working together toward a common goal. We heartily acknowledge and thank all volunteers, clubs, branches, Parks Committees, Coaches and Schools for their efforts in this regard and without the capitation and affiliation fees that supplement the income that Tennis Ireland generates from other sources it would be impossible for our sport to develop.
