Coaches seeking authorisation go to Google Form EOI - Authorised Coach.
Unauthorised Coaching & Professional Standards
To maintain a safe environment and ensure fair access for the community, only coaches authorised by City Community Tennis (CCT) are permitted to provide instruction at our facilities.
1. Prohibited Coaching Activity
Using a court booking (Member or Non-Member) for unauthorised coaching is a serious violation of our Terms of Service. This includes:
- Private Lessons: One-on-one structured instruction.
- Group Sessions: Any session where two or more players receive instruction.
- Use of Coaching Aids: The use of ball baskets, ball tubes, or ball machines is strictly prohibited for public hire.
- Disguised Coaching: Providing "free" lessons to friends or family that involve repetitive drills or structured feeding is classified as unauthorised instruction due to liability risks.
2. Why We Restrict Coaching
Authorised CCT coaches must undergo rigorous vetting, including:
- Insurance: Minimum $20M Public Liability and Professional Indemnity insurance.
- Safety: Valid "Working with Children" Checks (WWCC) and First Aid certification.
- Qualifications: Professional accreditation via Tennis Australia or ATPCA.
- Liability: Unauthorised coaches operate without these safeguards, leaving the Booking Holder personally liable for any injuries or property damage (see our Liability & Indemnity terms).
3. Monitoring & Enforcement
We actively monitor our facilities (including Alexandria, Beaconsfield, St James, Turruwul Park, and Prince Alfred Park) for:
- Suspicious Booking Patterns: Multiple recurring bookings or daily "blocks" made by the same account.
- On-Court Behaviour: Use of prohibited equipment such as ball baskets, ball hoppers, ball tubes, ball machines, cones, markers and coaching-style drills.
- Commercial Activity: Any exchange of money or services for on-court instruction.
4. Our Commitment to Fairness & Safety
To ensure all members have fair access to courts and are protected by proper safety standards, we must ensure our rules are followed.
- Member Protection: If a member is found to be providing or receiving coaching from an unauthorised individual, we may unfortunately need to suspend or cancel the membership. This is to protect the centre and its members from the significant legal and safety risks associated with uninsured instruction.
- Booking Access: In these instances, the account may be restricted to non-member rates or lose booking privileges to ensure that court space remains available for genuine social play.
We much prefer to work with our community. If you are a coach or want to run structured sessions, please see our Coach Authoriasation (EOI).
5. Expression of Interest (EOI) for Coaches
If you are looking to hire courts for the purpose of coaching at City Community Tennis, please see Authorised Coaching

- Current Public Liability & Professional Indemnity Insurance (min. $20M).
- Professional Accreditation (Tennis Australia, ATPCA, or equivalent).
- Valid NSW Working With Children Check (WWCC).
- Current First Aid & CPR certification.
Submission of an EOI does not guarantee authorisation. You will be contacted by CCT management if your application is successful.
