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.
