Illawarra Suburbs Lawn Tennis Association (ISLTA) was formed in 1911 and co-ordinates district tennis in the St George and Sutherland Shire areas.
The name 'Illawarra' remains as it is a part of tennis history in the Sydney metropolitan area (even though the name is these days associated with the near south coast of the state).
ISLTA is affiliated with the New South Wales Hardcourt Tennis Association and Tennis New South Wales, through which we are affiliated with Tennis Australia.
Our headquarters at 71 Chapel Street ROCKDALE has 18 floodlit synthetic grass courts, a fully licenced club and a pro-shop for all your tennis needs. Call Maureen or Graham Pearson in the pro-shop on (02) 9567 2307 for court bookings, lessons, or equipment.
Competition tennis is organised by the Illawarra Tennis Association and is played on courts in the whole area, some at tennis centres and some on courts in private backyards. We have many hundreds of registered competition players, which guarantees suitable competition for every standard.
