To become affiliated please contact your state association who can help your club become affiliated.

Once affiliated to start delivering ANZ Tennis Hot Shots your club can either:

2.     If you don’t have access to a coach, Community Play enables you to also run the ANZ Tennis Hot Shots program

For more assistance on this please contact play@tennis.com.au or call 1800 752 983.

Of course! But it can be used for anything for the club and its players’ needs. It could contribute towards new equipment, court re-surfacing or even put towards a club house upgrade. These are just some ideas to get you thinking. 

Entries will need to answer the question ‘What would your club/venue do with $10,000?’

All applications will be reviewed by the ANZ Tennis Hot Shots judges.

The judges will assess the merits of each application in their discretion based on fulfilment of eligibility criteria set out in the Terms and Conditions. Any grants awarded will be at the discretion of the panel of appointed judges.

There is a limit of one entry per person.

Different people from the same team or club can enter. However, if successful, a club will be awarded a grant once. Nominators who apply for a grant must have the permission of the club to enter.

The ANZ Tennis Hot Shots team would love to see your submission. Submitting a video or images with your entry is optional but strongly encouraged.

Your video does not have to be high quality – you can even film and submit from your smartphone.

To submit a video, you will need to upload it to YouTube or any other hosting website and paste the link in the application form. There is no time restriction on the video. It should be a ‘public’ or ‘unlisted’ video, not ‘private’, to ensure the ANZ Tennis Hot Shots judges can see your entry.
