Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be an ANZ customer to apply?
No, there are no restrictions relating to who you currently bank with. If you do have an existing sponsorship arrangement with a financial institution, please let it be known in your application. The club or venue does need to be affiliated with Tennis Australia and deliver ANZ Tennis Hot Shots to be eligible.
Do I have to nominate an ANZ Tennis Hot Shots venue/club?
Yes. Only tennis venues/clubs that are affiliated with Tennis Australia and deliver ANZ Tennis Hot Shots are eligible to apply.
How does my club or venue become affiliated with Tennis Australia and start delivering ANZ Tennis Hot Shots?
To become affiliated please contact your state association who can help your club become affiliated.
Once affiliated to start delivering ANZ Tennis Hot Shots your club can either:
- Have a qualified Tennis Australia coach sign up and deliver the program
- If you don’t have access to a coach, Community Play enables you to also run the ANZ Tennis Hot Shots program

Does the $10,000 Grant have to be used on something for the club?
Of course! But it can be used for anything for the club and its player’s needs. It could contribute towards new equipment, re-surfacing the club’s courts or even put towards a new club house. These are just some ideas to get you thinking.
