Tennis South Canterbury Incorporated is a non-profit regional sporting organisation that fosters and promotes the game of tennis in the South Canterbury region. TSC’s purpose is to enable and promote quality tennis experiences at every level.
Our state-of-the-art facility stands as a beacon for local players seeking top-tier training and competition. With a commitment to accessibility, we’re inviting elite players to grace our courts, making the dream of witnessing world-class tennis a reality for everyone in our community. Moreover, our endeavours extend beyond the thrill of the game; they promise economic prosperity as we draw visitors to Timaru, enriching both our cultural landscape and our local businesses.

This is about securing a legacy of excellence, inspiring fierce competition, and ensuring that the spirit of the game burns brightly in every player and spectator alike.
A future where tennis isn’t just a sport—it’s a passion, a pursuit, and a promise for generations to come.

As we prepare for an exciting year ahead, I am thrilled to introduce you to the second edition of the Aoraki Tennis Open, taking place on 10th–11th May 2025.
Following the great success of our inaugural tournament last year, we are eager to build on that momentum and make this year’s event even more memorable. The Aoraki Open is more than just a competition, it’s a celebration of community, sportsmanship, and the love of tennis, bringing together players, supporters, and businesses in a shared passion for the sport.
To achieve this, we are actively seeking sponsors and partners who share our vision and would like to be part of this fantastic event. Your support would be instrumental in helping us grow the tournament, enhance the player experience, and establish the Aoraki Open as a premier event for years to come.
We offer a range of sponsorship opportunities, each providing valuable exposure, branding, and community engagement benefits. A detailed sponsorship package is attached, but we are more than happy to tailor a partnership that aligns with your business goals.
