In 2022, two Victorian tennis Clubs, Lalor Tennis Club and Thomastown Tennis Club, applied for and received the City of Whittlesea’s Female Inclusion in Sport Grants Program.

The Grant Program is for up to $3000 per club to increase female participation in tennis through involvement in the club in various ways.

Both Lalor Tennis Club and Thomastown Tennis Club were successful in these grants, which allowed them to put two of their junior female players through the Future Leaders Program.

They provided coaching courses for the students to run their own junior girls programs that the Future Leaders students helped organise and run.

Check out the following videos, highlighting our Future Leaders pairs from 2021/22 with Adele and Naomi from Thomastown TC and Katerina and Tara from Lalor TC.

It is great to see City of Whittlesea support local sporting clubs, such as our tennis clubs, to provide opportunities for young women and girls to make a difference at their club.
