Tennis Ireland Update and Courts Closed Notice – 22.10.2020
Posted: October 22, 2020

We have just received the following update from Tennis Ireland.
Unfortunately until they receive clarification from Sport Ireland, the Clubhouse and Courts are now CLOSED for ALL PLAY until further notice.  For clarification, this includes Junior Coaching.   
This is obviously very disappointing news for now, but we will send a further update when Tennis Ireland advises. 

TENNIS IRELAND UPDATE  22nd OCTOBER 2020

“Following a communication this morning from Sport Ireland, Tennis Ireland, notwithstanding to its communication yesterday evening,  must unfortunately now ask all member Clubs to suspend all activities (including all junior coaching programmes) in the Republic of Ireland with immediate effect.

The Department of Sport Expert Group is meeting this morning to finalise Level 5 protocols for sporting organisations and once these protocols have been issued to Tennis Ireland,  we will communicate further with member Clubs.

Tennis Ireland understands the difficulties and disappointment that this instruction will pose for players, coaches, club volunteers and staff but the challenge caused by COVID-19 impacts across all sectors of society and sport and we need a nationwide effort to fight it.  Tennis Ireland will, as it always has done, work closely with Government and Sport Ireland to reopen our sport as soon as possible, even on a restricted basis, in as safe a manner as possible.

Tennis Ireland would like to thank Clubs, their members and coaches for the work that has been done over the last number of months in providing much needed exercise and safe, socially distant enjoyment to communities across Ireland”.
