Mitcham Tennis Club

Meet John, one of Mitcham Tennis Club's longest-standing members.

John Cornell has been playing tennis since he was 14 years old, beginning on the Burwood Road Methodist Church courts, where he would later get married.

He remembers playing with white tennis balls on asphalt courts. By the end of a match, those white balls would be black!

After many years as a member of Mitcham Uniting Church Tennis Club, John joined Mitcham Tennis Club when the church grounds were sold. John continues to attend our club as a valued non-playing member, where he keeps in touch with friends.

John’s story reflects what Mitcham Tennis Club is all about: community, connection, and a place where people of all ages can belong, both on and off the court.

Mark Hartnett Pro Tennis Academy is once again proud to be part of Australia's Biggest Morning Tea, helping the Cancer Council raise vital funds for people impacted by cancer.

Tennis clubs are busy places, with people visiting at different times throughout the day. Rather than hosting one single event, we hope every part of the club can come together in their own way.

Whether it's over a hit of tennis, a cup of tea, a coffee, a beer or even a glass of wine, we encourage everyone to take a moment to connect, support one another and help raise funds for this wonderful initiative.

We've set up a fundraising page to make donating easy online

Thank you for supporting such an important cause. Your donation will make a real difference.

Funds raised will help support world-class cancer research, which has already increased cancer survival rates in Australia from 49% in the 1980s to 71% today.

Together, we can help Australia take big steps towards a cancer-free future

Its a beautiful Saturday morning - looking forward to a great day on court!👌

🎾 Thank you for your incredible support

A huge thank you to everyone in the local community who signed the petition to help save Mitcham Tennis Club as part of the Walker Park redevelopment.

The petition, containing more than 2,300 signatures, was presented to Whitehorse City Council, recommending that Council reconsider the draft Walker Park plan to include Mitcham Tennis Club. The motion was unanimously accepted.

Councillor Prue Cutts noted it was one of the highest supported petitions presented during her time as a councillor, highlighting the strength of community backing for a club with around 140 members.

There is still a long journey ahead before the final outcome is known, but this support sends a clear message that Mitcham Tennis Club matters to the community.

We are a growing club and an important local asset. Thank you for standing with us and supporting the future of local tennis.
