The Tewantin Noosa Tennis Club hosted its first and hugely successful Tennis Party over the weekend, drawing more than 200 locals to its picturesque bushland courts for an afternoon of fun, fitness, and community spirit.
Held under Noosa’s blue skies and afternoon breezes, families, social players, and seasoned competitors turned out to enjoy a wide range of tennis activities. The club’s coaching team led by Pete Taylor from Launch Coaching Academy ran energetic coaching clinics for all ages, while the courts buzzed with social tennis sessions that welcomed newcomers and regulars alike. One of the day’s biggest drawcards was the lively single‑point slam competition, which delivered plenty of laughs and dramatic, winner‑takes‑all rallies.
The always‑popular fastest serve competition let amateurs compare their serves to the pros on display at the Australian Open. Local member Tom Stewart claimed the prize with a 145km hour thunderbolt.
Set against the natural bushland backdrop that makes the Tewantin Noosa Tennis Club such a unique community venue, the event offered something for everyone. Off the court, families relaxed under the trees, kids played on the grass, and volunteers kept the barbecue sizzling with a classic sausage sizzle that proved as popular as the tennis itself.
Club President Bruce Campbell described the day as “a celebration of community connection and the growing enthusiasm for tennis across the region”. With strong attendance and plenty of smiling faces, the Tewantin Tennis Party is sure to become a highlight on the local social‑sporting calendar.
