The Tennis Wales Awards recognise the clubs, venues, coaches, officials, players, volunteers and community champions helping tennis and padel thrive across Wales, celebrating outstanding achievements between 1 December 2025 and 30 November 2026.
The Awards aim to champion those who go above and beyond to open up tennis and padel in their community. If you know someone who you feel deserves to be recognised, we want to hear from you. Submit your nomination by 30 November 2026 and help recognise the people and places making a difference in your area.
