TENNIS NSW RE-AFFILIATION YOUR 2016/17 HOW TO GUIDE DUE 30 JUNE, 2016
After another year of growth, success and learnings, Tennis NSW heads into the 2016/17 year as determined as ever to achieve our goal of ensuring more people are playing tennis for longer. With over 100,000 registered players on courts around the state, tennis is one of the fastest growing sports in NSW and it is you, our Clubs, Associations and Facility Operators, that play such a crucial role in making tennis people s number one choice. Our top priority at Tennis NSW is delivering the best service possible to our Affiliates, whether that is through connecting your Club to a Participation Leader, guiding you through a lease agreement with Local Government or providing the framework and policies to ensure your Club and players are safe on and off the court. One of our four organisational values is Teamwork, and over the next 12 months Tennis NSW will continue to work hard ensuring our affiliates have all the tools they need to achieve success; but we need to work as a team in order to ensure tennis continues to grow. As part of your affiliation, you are required to submit a list of registered players and their details to us. A clean and upto-date data warehouse is crucial, not only as a means of communicating important information and updates to our Members, but as a way of maintaining an accurate census of tennis across the state and as a measurement of success when pushing for Government funding or applying for grants. It is also important to note that the Tennis Australia National Insurance Program covers personal accident insurance only for players registered with Tennis NSW. As Tennis NSW continues to work closely with Tennis Australia on revolutionising our online systems, we have put together this simple e-brochure to give you all the information you need to complete your affiliation renewal online. With the changes to My Tennis, please take the time to read through the instructions and feel free to give the office a call if you require assistance. This document will highlight all the benefits you will receive through affiliation and outline how you can pass these on to your players. Thank you for your ongoing contribution to tennis in NSW and I look forward to working together over the next year as we continue to make tennis great. Best of luck to you all for the year ahead. Kind regards, Alistair MacDonald Chief Executive Officer Tennis NSW Tournament Director Apia International Sydney
