2024 Membership Application Form

2024 Membership is now available.  Because of the court light failures, no night programs are able to be run at present.  At this stage, it is not known when enough courts will be available to restart any night programs.  It is unlikely that any Night Fixtures or Night Tournaments will be able to be run in First Semester (and probaly Second Semester) as 12-15 courts are needed for these programs.  There is a chance that Tennis Practice may restart late in First Semester as this program only needs 6-8 courts.

Applicants who are under 17 years of age must also lodge the special Junior Membership Declaration which must be signed by a parent or guardian. The junior declaration can be downloaded here.

Please read this before completing the on-line application.

To play Fixtures and Tournaments, players must have a Tennis Australia Competitive Player Profile (CPP) linked to Universal Tennis Ratings (UTR), and aTennis ID (11-digit number starting with '66').  However, all players should set up their CPP & Tennis ID in case they decide to enter a competition and so they will have access to pre-sale tickets for Australian Open & Summer Series events and other special offers from Tennis Australia.

To create a CPP and link it to Universal Tennis Ratings, or check if you already have a CPP & Tennis ID, go to https://www.tennis.com.au/competitiveplay/competitive-player-profile and click on 'Complete your Competitive Player Profile' at the bottom of the screen which will then give a number of options depending on whether a player already has a Tennis ID Account or Universal Tennis Account or neither or doesn't know.

For information about UTRs, go to https://www.tennis.com.au/competitiveplay/utr-rating.
