Tennis Queensland recognizes the positive impact complementary formats (POP, padel, pickleball, beach tennis etc) can have on the accessibility, sustainability, and vibrancy of tennis. Tennis Queensland supports the integration of these formats within existing tennis facilities to increase accessibility and improve court utilization, however, not at the expense of existing tennis infrastructure (e.g. the permanent conversion of our existing tennis courts to padel or pickleball courts).
Tennis Queensland affiliation benefits only extend to complementary formats when delivered within the affiliated tennis facility, with clubs and coaches advised to seek guidance from their Tennis Queensland representative prior to their introduction and any changes to their infrastructure plan.
