TCA's role
Our role is to support and nurture our dedicated coaches Australia wide.
The TCA Board of Management remains a vital and unique medium to support and represent the interests of our members.
Tennis Australia Coach Membership plays an important role in the promotion and management of Coaches Australia- wide.
TCA plays an equally important role in understanding and addressing the specific needs and important issues that confront Coaches on a daily basis.
Together these bodies will work together to assist coaches to pursue careers in this wonderful profession. Members should take comfort in that individually and collectively the Board Members deal with all of the same issues and challenges and so are very aware and sympathetic in addressing the needs and protecting the future interests of all members.
