Tennis
Tennis was an Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) scholarship sport from 1981 to 2013.
The tennis program for able bodied athletes at the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) opened in 1981 and was one of the inaugural eight AIS sports.
The tennis program at the AIS began in 1981 as a residential and camps program based in Canberra. It was designed to complement and support the Tennis Australia National Junior Program.
In 1996 tennis became the fourteenth (14th) decentralised program when it was relocated to Melbourne.
During 2013, the AIS transitioned out of athlete scholarships and sport programs. Responsibility for coaches, athletes and programs was transferred to the principal National Sporting Organisation for tennis at the time.
This page includes athletes who were on AIS scholarship for at least three months consecutively. All reasonable efforts have been made to ensure that the information is accurate and comprehensive.
