Tennis Victoria Future Leaders Program
Make a difference at your club!
WHAT IS FUTURE LEADERS?
Tennis Victoria’s Future Leaders Program enables our next generation of volunteers to work closely with our local tennis clubs in creating welcoming environments on and off the tennis court.
The program:
- Is designed for Year 10 and 11 students, who are passionate about tennis and want to develop their leadership skills
- Provides participants with the opportunity to make a difference at their local tennis club
As part of the program, participants will:
- Attend a three day camp, to develop important teamwork and leadership skills and work with our team here at Tennis Victoria to develop a project plan to take back to their tennis club to complete.
- Work with their club to complete a minimum of 40 hours work in completing the project
- Upon completion, participants are invited to attend a graduation hosted by Tennis Victoria in recognition for all their hard work.
The Future Leaders Program enables our next generation of volunteers to work closely with our local tennis clubs in creating welcoming environments on and off the tennis court.

FAST 4 TENNIS
What is FAST4 Tennis?
In the same way Twenty20 cricket has revolutionised how cricket is played, FAST4 Tennis is a speedier form of the traditional game, intended to encourage audiences around the world to get back into tennis.
How did it start?
FAST4 Tennis was introduced by Tennis Australia to give people a quicker (and possibly more exciting) way to play tennis. According to Tennis Australia’s website, “Designed with the time-crunched player in mind, the FAST4 format means that anyone, anywhere has time for tennis.”
What are the rules?
FAST4 Tennis encourages lightning-fast play, with sets won when one player reaches four games, rather than the usual six or seven. Matches don’t generally last any longer than 75 minutes, even at five sets, with each set lasting about a quarter of an hour at most. Players are not allowed to sit down between change of ends and play must resume within 60 seconds of the previous game finishing. Players are allowed a 90 second break at the end of each set.
FAST4: THE RULES
Four really is the magic number when it comes to FAST4. The basics of the game are the same as ‘conventional’ tennis, but there are four key rules:
#1
#2
#3
#4
EXTREME TENNIS CARDIO TEAM HIT MARGARET COURT ARENA
On Thursday 22nd January 2015, six Extreme Tennis Cardio VIP enthusiasts elected to be involved in the Australian Open 2015 Cardio Tennis Showcase.
All were excited to share their Cardio Tennis skills on the new Margaret Court Arena (MCA) before the scheduled 7pm night match. Unfortunately, due to a “security glitch”, the expected crowd was reduced to family, friends, ushers, some cameramen & a guest appearance by ex professional players – Pam Schriver & Chris Evert!
Congrats to all – we hope you had fun!
