Tennis four decades on

Tewantin's octogenarian tennis team

Tewantin Tennis Club was formed in 1980 by a group of mainly mature-aged tennis players. Several of the founding members still enjoy playing at the current premises in McKinnon Drive where the Club has 10 well-maintained synthetic grass courts and a Club house. Social tennis is played every morning and most afternoons. New members and visitors of any age are welcome. The Club’s “Open Social Group” has matches on Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays beginning at 7.00 am.

Tennis has recently been recognised as being the best sport for both men and women to continue to enjoy into old age. As an example of this, the Social Group conducted a photo shoot of 11 of their 14 regular players who are currently members of the “Octogenarian Club“ The oldest player, Eric Griffin, is 89 years young!
