Sunshine Coast shines in tennis

For the second year in a row the Sunshine Coast won the Shield for the Most Outstanding Region in Queensland at the Queensland Tennis Awards night held on Saturday 8 November in Brisbane.

The Sunshine Coast Regional Tennis Assembly recorded strong growth in 2025, especially with a major rise in coloured ball competition participation. The region has championed inclusivity through initiatives for women and girls, including subsidised bus trips for more than 90 players to major events such as the Brisbane International and Billie Jean King Cup Qualifier and a Sunshine Coast Girls Squad which saw 86 junior girls participate.

As well, in 2025, the region secured over $519,000 in funding and invested more than $2.1 million into 46 court upgrades.

Tewantin Noosa Tennis Club members Jan and Tony Coyle were presented with Volunteering Achievement Recognition. Jan and Tony are highly respected integral members of the Tewantin Noosa Tennis Club community. Tony served as Club President for seven years while Jan has remained a driving force at Club functions and events for over a decade. Tony is a keen member of the maintenance group, and both assist with tournaments and events as well as volunteer their time for club fund raising efforts.
