Welcome to Eastern Region Tennis Inc. , one of the largest and most progressive Suburban Tennis Associations in Melbourne. With nearly 70 affiliated clubs located throughout the Eastern Suburbs, we offer a wide variety of tennis competitions for both seniors and juniors, involving over 4,000 players.
Our association is committed to promoting and developing the sport of tennis in the Eastern Region of Melbourne. We provide opportunities for players of all ages and skill levels to participate in competitive tennis, as well as to improve their skills through coaching programmes.
For junior players, we have a dedicated Junior Secretary who can be contacted at 0400 093 992 or via email at ert_junior@ertinc. au. They are available to answer any questions and provide information about junior competitions and programmes.
Senior players can reach out to our Senior Secretary at 0437 983 551 or via email at ert_senior@ertinc. au. They can assist with inquiries related to senior competitions and events.
One of our popular programmes is the Junior Pennant, which is overseen by Chris Thomson. He can be reached at 0425 759 399 and provides guidance and support to junior players participating in the Pennant.
On our website, you can find up-to-date news, fixtures, ladders, and results. We also have a club zone section where clubs can access important information and resources. Additionally, our website features photo galleries, coaching archives, and links to relevant tennis resources.
We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of Ian Adderley, the founding President of the Donvale Tennis Club. Ian made significant contributions to our association and the broader tennis community. He was instrumental in establishing the thriving tennis club at Donvale and remained an active member of the GMC for many years. Ian's dedication to the sport and his advocacy for women's tennis will always be remembered.
In terms of administration, we have implemented By Law 6 – Emergencies, which outlines the rules and regulations for emergency players participating in teams. It highlights the approval process, eligibility criteria, and guidelines for emergencies playing in lower sections or grades.
Eastern Region Tennis Inc. is proud to be a leading tennis association in Melbourne. We strive to create a welcoming and inclusive environment for all tennis enthusiasts, providing opportunities for competition, skill development, and community engagement.
