Description

Ferntree Gully Tennis Club is a “Fun, Active, Inclusive” club offering a range of tennis programs to meet the needs of the community. Our award winning All Abilities program was established in 2021 to provide opportunities for people with disabilities to enjoy tennis. No previous experience is required and it is suitable for all fitness levels.
Our coach Mark, from Prestige Tennis Academy, tailors to the program to meet the needs of players with a broad range of physical and intellectual disabilities. The sessions include a warm-up, fun games and tennis drills. Our team of dedicated volunteers provide encouragement and support to the players throughout the sessions.
We have an emphasis on fun, having a go and trying your best in a friendly and welcoming environment.

Our program runs on school terms on Thursdays 5.30-6.30pm.
Sessions are $20 (casual) or pay per term for a discounted rate of $15 per session.

“Inclusive sport matters to me because there is no I in team and everyone is included. Inclusive sport looks like one big happy family all together. I love sport because it keeps me fit and active, and I feel part of a team”
