The history of the Montville Tennis Club dates back to the 1920s when the Montville Sports and Recreation Ground was established. The grounds were previously a pineapple farm before being repurposed as a sporting facility. The tennis courts were the first facilities to be built at this location. Over the years, the grounds, and facilities were managed by various trustees and groups until the Montville Village Association took over the management in 1993.
In 2014, the Montville Village Association invited expressions of interest from community groups to form a tennis club at the Montville Sports and Recreation Grounds. After a thorough selection process, the Montville Tennis Club was incorporated in September 2018. The club took over the lease of the tennis courts and clubhouse and has been working towards their vision of providing a friendly and dynamic environment for the Montville community to play tennis.
The Montville Tennis Club is dedicated to catering to players of all ages and skill levels. They aim to create a welcoming atmosphere where members can improve their tennis skills, make new friends, and enjoy the sport they love. The club also encourages tax-deductible donations to support their ongoing rejuvenation efforts, which can be made through the Australian Sports Foundation website.
Overall, the Montville Tennis Club offers a beautiful location, well-maintained facilities, and a strong sense of community. Whether you are interested in playing tennis competitively, socially, or just for fun, the Montville Tennis Club is the perfect place to connect with fellow tennis enthusiasts and enjoy the sport in a relaxed and inclusive environment.
