ITF Increases Support of International Clubs and Centenary Tennis Clubs |

At its AGM in Copenhagen last week, the ITF signed memoranda of understanding with two of its recognized organizations, the Council of International Clubs, and Association of Centenary Tennis Clubs. The ITF will look to increase its support of both organizations on their worldwide development activities.

The Council of International Clubs currently comprise 40 national member clubs known individually as International Clubs (ICs). The International Clubs aim to develop, encourage and maintain the highest standards of sportsmanship and understanding among players of all nations and among young players in particular.

The Association of Centenary Tennis Clubs (CTC) is an umbrella group of clubs that are each more than 100 years old, including some of the most prestigious clubs in tennis. Initially founded by eight clubs as a pan-European association, it now has an extensive global membership of 59 clubs in 28 countries.

The ITF and the two organisations will look to cooperate on development projects where appropriate in consultation with national associations.

The memoranda of understanding run through 2013 (Centenary Tennis Clubs) and 2014 (International Clubs) respectively.
