About the Bendigo Tennis Association
Community tennis across Bendigo, led by affiliated clubs and supported at BRTC
The Bendigo Tennis Association (BTA) brings together affiliated tennis clubs across the Bendigo region. Through club membership, players connect with local competition, coaching pathways, and the wider tennis community.
BTA coordinates regional competitions, including summer pennant, and works with club volunteers to keep tennis accessible, organised, and welcoming for players of all ages.
What BTA does
- Governance and coordination for affiliated clubs across the Bendigo region
- Summer pennant competitions for seniors and juniors
- Support for club committees, captains, and volunteers
BRTC and affiliated clubs
Bendigo Regional Tennis Centre (BRTC) is home to the BTA and hosts many of the association's competitions. Affiliated club members enjoy benefits at the centre, including discounted court hire packages and eligibility for BTA summer pennant.
Each affiliated club has its own committee, membership, and social calendar. BTA connects those clubs so players can move between local club tennis and regional competition with clarity and support.
