About Us
VicTennis is proud to be one of the largest and longest standing gay and lesbian sporting associations in Victoria.
Our Mission: To coordinate tennis and social activities in a gay and lesbian environment and to provide opportunities for social and competitive tennis for all skill levels.
Although most of our members are lesbian or gay, our membership is inclusive: we welcome any interested person who is supportive of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transsexual, and transgender people.
Tennis is the most enjoyable of pastimes and as such deserves to be enjoyed in the best of surroundings, in good company and in the best of spirits.
Sunday Social
Venue: Malvern Tennis Club
43a Union Street, Armadale
Mel Ref 59 A8
Time: 1pm to 5pm each Sunday
Cost: $12 for social members
$15 for non-members
Social membership is granted after 3 visits
The structure is 25 minute sets (doubles) and we only take 40 people so that at worst each player plays alternate sets. As the afternoon progresses and some people leave some players will get 2 sets in a row. Players are registered on arrival and if we reach 40 we will take a few players on a wait-list basis.
At approximately 3.30pm we have an afternoon tea break to encourage players to socialise and take a break.
Monday Night Competition
For Sunday Social Members, VicTennis runs 2 seasons of competition annually.
Summer Season runs from January to June
Spring Season runs from August to December
6 teams of 6 players in each of A grade and B grade. At the end of the night we have a supper, provided by teams on an alternate basis.
6 sets are played each Monday night by 4 players from each team over 15 rounds. The 15 rounds are followed by Finals over 3 weeks.
Dinners & Social Events
VicTennis has regular dinners to which all members are invited and for which VicTennis provides some contribution. The dinners are advertised on our website and by email.
VicTennis is happy to advertise and promote events and social activities with a gay & lesbian or tennis connection through which our members can be involved in some sporting or social activity. These events are advertised through our website and email.
