The Tennis Ireland Clubmark is an accreditation programme which aims to identify, develop, accredit and recognise high quality tennis clubs and their contribution to the development of tennis. To be accredited, tennis Clubs need to meet certain standards in the areas of effective organisation, management, safety, child welfare, risk management, equality and inclusion, organised play and scoring, competition, coaching, player development, outreach programmes, communication and public relations.

The committee are happy to inform members that Glasnevin Lawn Tennis Club has been awarded the Clubmark Silver accreditation by Tennis Ireland. Our Clubmark plaque will be presented by Tennis Ireland CEO Kevin Quinn on Friday 28th February 2025.
The Programme is designed to provide clubs with the resources to develop a Club Development Strategy that will:
Assist club management to organise for success.
Continue to develop programmes that will satisfy the needs of all members.
Attract new club members whilst retaining current members.
Guarantee a ‘quality standard’ in specific areas of your club
Only a small number of tennis clubs have achieved the TI Clubmark; we are therefore very proud to be awarded this accreditation and further improve our levels of standards into our new membership year. Scott is leaving us shortly but his work was fundamental to delivery of this objective. The club thanks him and wishes him and his family well.
