KYABRAM Lawn Tennis Club is one of ten lucky recipients to receive a $10,000 grant through its ANZ Community Tennis Grants initiative, helping support and develop local tennis clubs who deliver the ANZ Tennis Hot Shots program.
Kyabram Lawn Tennis Club will be using the funds to build a brand new storage shed to house new and existing tennis equipment.
Their clubrooms and a smaller existing shed are already filled with plenty of items, so this exciting development will allow the club to invest in more equipment, which will greatly benefit the whole tennis community.
“In 2021, ANZ is once again supporting grassroots tennis across Australia with its Community Tennis Grants initiative. We’re beyond thrilled to present Kyabram Lawn Tennis Club with the ANZ Tennis Hot Shots community grant. The club is a wonderful part of the community and a great supporter of ongoing grassroots tennis,” ANZ Shepparton Branch Manager, Michael Harbor, said.
The Grants initiative is an extension of the bank’s sponsorship of ANZ Tennis Hot Shots, which is Tennis Australia’s modified starter program for children – using smaller courts, lower nets, lighter racquets and low compression balls making it suitable for children of all abilities.
“This is a great opportunity for Kyabram Lawn Tennis Club to improve its community’s tennis facilities. We look forward to seeing Kyabram Lawn Tennis Club prosper,” Tennis Australia CEO, Craig Tiley, said.
