Dear Members,

Please read the following advice from Tennis Victoria with an update on using the tennis courts.

These are the most recent regulations received from the Department of Sport and Recreation following the declaration of a State of Disaster and the implementation of a Stage 3 Lockdown.

Please comply with these regulations, to keep us all safe.

We thank you for your co-operation and patience in these difficult times.

Hopefully, we will return to more normal tennis in the Spring.

Keep safe and healthy.

Kind regards,

Pax Hill Tennis Club began around 1961 and is still going strong.

We currently cater for players from the age of 4 through to 70 having about 35 – 40  competition playing members and many more players and community members that use the courts on a regular basis. There are very few daylight hours when the Pax Hill Tennis Courts are not in use.

The West End of Traralgon is growing rapidly and our club is welcoming new social and competition playing members who enjoy a smaller club environment.

We allow daylight hour access to 2 of our courts free of charge all year round to the public except for during Saturday tennis competition season. The season runs from Oct – Dec & then Jan – Mar between 8.30am – 11.30am and 1pm – 3pm. However if no home games are being played these courts will be made available to the public.

We encourage our community and regular visitors to become a member of our club.  Sign up here or visit our membership page for more information.  And make sure you set up a Tennis Australia profile!

We have an active committee of volunteers who focus on the following goals;

• Inclusion in the sport of tennis for all people.
• Fundraising for uniforms, upkeep and upgrading of our facilities.
• Obtaining sponsorship and grants to assist the club prosper.
• Providing coaching for children as young as 4 right through to adults.

We hope this has given you some information in regards to our club, please contact us and we would be happy to have you join us
