Local Tennis Pride Events

With the support of Tennis Australia, NSW Tennis venues have been delivering Pride Events since 2023 through AO Pride Nights and Serving Pride Initiatives.

The aim of these initiative is to educate and support tennis clubs on how they can be inclusive of their local LGBTQ+ community by providing a welcoming and safe environment.
