💚🎾 A Club Worth Fighting For 🎾💚
The Glass House Mountains District Tennis Club has been part of our community for a long time. But like many small community clubs, there came a point where things became quiet. Activity faded, memberships dropped, and there was a real risk that tennis in Glass House Mountains could become a thing of the past.
Eighteen months ago, a small group of passionate locals decided that couldn't happen.
We rolled up our sleeves, put our hearts on the line, and committed to bringing tennis back to the Glass House community. Since then, we've seen new members join and a genuine sense of excitement grow around the sport once again.
But the reality is that while the spirit of our club is stronger than ever, our courts are showing their age.
They've served our community faithfully for more than 30 years and, much like some of us, they're starting to show their age. Cracks are appearing, wear and tear is becoming more obvious, and the need for resurfacing is becoming increasingly urgent if we're to continue providing a safe and enjoyable place for everyone to play.
We recently placed our hopes into a grassroots sporting club grant that would have helped us resurface the courts, but unfortunately, we learned this week that we were unsuccessful.
It was a tough blow, and if we're honest, many of us at the club are feeling disheartened right now.
While we had hoped we could do this on our own, we have come to the realisation that we need to ask for help. And if we don't ask, the opportunity to preserve and improve this important community asset may slip away.
So today, we're reaching out to our local community and asking for help we need.
If you've ever played on our courts, watched your children play, or simply believe local sporting clubs matter, we would be deeply grateful for your support.
We don't need a few people to give a lot (even though that would definitely help)
We simply need a lot of people to give a little.
Every donation, no matter the size, will help bring us one step closer to resurfacing our courts and ensuring tennis continues in Glass House Mountains for the next generation.
If you are able to contribute, please support our resurfacing campaign through our Sports Foundation fundraising page.

And if you'd like to learn more about what we're building, we'd love to meet you in person.

Our courts have served the community for 30+ years but now need urgent resurfacing. To attract members, host events and grow, we need safe, quality courts.
