A SAFER GAME PLAN

A Safer Game Plan aims the wider tennis community including officials, coaches and clubs about their responsibilities for safeguarding children on and off the court.

Tennis Australia has produced a number of resources including a webinar to assist with the education of staff and volunteers in relation to the protection of children and young persons involved in Tennis.
