The National Tennis Forum 2008

The National Tennis Forum 2008

The third annual National Tennis Forum will take place in conjunction with the National Coaches Forum on November 29th 2008 in Dublin City University.

 

The theme for this years National Tennnis Forum is ‘Play and Stay – Tennis is Fun’. In essence, this is about using the concepts supporting the ‘Play and Stay’ approach to attract more players into our sport and more members for your club.

 

We also want to demonstrate to delegates the approaches we have adopted to covering the courts at the National Tennis Centre together with the range of surfaces on display there. Tennis Ireland always very concious that the issue of covering courts and installing new surfaces is very much to the fore in many of our affiliated clubs.
