Digital Connectivity

Connected Through a National Tennis Network

Building a stronger, more connected tennis community

Over recent years, more than 150 clubs have connected to Tennis NZ's national platform, creating a more connected and informed tennis community. The platform provides clubs with tools to manage memberships, communicate with participants and access key services that support their day-to-day operations.

As participation in tennis continues to evolve, having connected systems helps us better support players, clubs, coaches and volunteers across New Zealand.

Why connectivity matters

A connected tennis network enables clubs and tennis organisations to work more effectively together while creating better experiences for participants.

Key benefits include:

1. Safe tennis environments

Connected participants records help ensure people are aware of the policies and standards that apply across our sport. This also makes it easier for clubs and tennis organisations to work together when addressing behavioural of wellbeing concerns.

2. Simpler administration

Shared systems reduce duplication and help streamline club administration, including reporting requirements and annual data collection.

3. Better advocacy and funding support

Reliable participation data helps demonstrate the value of tennis to local councils, funding partners and stakeholders, supporting investment in facilities, programmes and services.

4. More effective communication

Regional and national campaigns can reach the right audiences more efficiently, helping clubs promote events, competitions, programmes and participation opportunities.

5. Better decision-making

Access to current participation information helps clubs, regions and Tennis NZ better understand how, where and why people engage with tennis, allowing services and programmes to be tailored to community needs.

6. Future-ready technology

A connected tennis network positions Tennis New Zealand to take advantage of new technology and digital innovations, including developments from World Tennis and enhancements to platforms such as the World Tennis Number.
