I have noted a disturbing
trend for parents to become inappropriately involved in the matches of
their children.
Such conduct has included
physical and verbal abuse of spectators and intimidation/bullying of
minors.
I do not wish to see parents
at any stage walking onto Courts uninvited to interfere with the scoring
of a match, nor do I condone parents verbally or physically abusing the
parent of a player.
The BRTA wish everyone to
enjoy tennis in a safe and encouraging environment.
Disrespectful or
inappropriate comments or gestures will not be tolerated and if
complaints are meritorious they will be referred to Tennis Victoria for
adjudication.

President, BRTA
