President’s Note to Parents

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. 

Mark Da Silva 
President, BRTA
