Tennis Seniors South Australia

Our organisation was established in 1972 and we were originally known as The South Australian Veterans Tennis Association. On 15 August, 2006 the name 'Veterans' was replaced and our new name became The Tennis Seniors Association of SA Inc. or as per our TSSA Constitution we are referred to as Tennis Seniors SA and/or TSSA.

The headquarters of Tennis Seniors SA (est. 1995) is located at the South Park Tennis Seniors & Hockey Centre that is sited in the parklands opposite 118 Greenhill Road Unley, and just east of Peacock Road that cuts through the  parklands (connects King William Road with King William Street). The complex includes 18 carpeted tennis courts and a large club room abutting Greenhill Road. These clubrooms are shared with Adelaide Hockey Club and include a large communal area, bar and basic kitchen facilities. The toilet facilities for both women and men were upgraded in 2019. Tennis Seniors SA shares availability of these grounds with Adelaide Hockey Club and Pulteney Grammar School.

Tennis Seniors SA is affiliated with Tennis South Australia (Tennis SA) and Tennis Seniors Australia (TSA). Our Association is also linked to Tennis Australia (TA) and the International Tennis Federation (ITF).

In South Australia there are also four Regional/Country Tennis Seniors associations with whom we maintain close links. Our associations seek to conduct annual tournaments/carnivals and generally work together in exploring ways to foster and encourage the playing of tennis amongst adults 30+ ( pre 2021 was 35+).

Our county regional associations include:

• Murray Bridge & Districts
• Northern Areas (Mid North)
• Riverland
• South-East
