SECRETARY UPDATE:

You may have noticed changes to the ATPCA website recently - particularly to the "Find a Qualified Coach" area (www.atpca.com.au). Members are reporting this is quite useful and drawing new clients according to your suburb listing. See for your self: FIND A COACH

We now have a facility to enter a second suburb for you too if you wish. Just email us tennis@atpca.com.au if you'd like that. You can have any two suburbs you like irrespective of where you live. Of course let us know if you do not want any entry.

Tennis Australia's courses are nearly twice the price of those of ATPCA. Also they are much more arduous - unnecessarily in our view. So if you have a trainee ready to proceed to his/her Qualification with the ATPCA phone:

NSW Julio El Akl 0411 158669
VIC Lynton Joseph 0407 697941
QLD Mal Murphy 07 5441 5270
SA Colin Mander 08 8276 9229

and arrange either an RPL ($150 membership + training if needed) or partake in a complete L1 or L2 course.

TA has recently publicly proclaimed it is no longer supporting ATPCA nor TCA. That is unfortunate since we have always believed the interests of tennis are better served by mutual cooperation between organisations, irrespective of TA being now a "competitor" in the industry. We have never received supporting funds from any outside source.
