Range Tennis Club in Toowoomba attracts 600 members in six years

Range Tennis Club in Toowoomba has seen a nearly 5,000% membership increase in six years, growing from 12 to 600 members. This growth defies national trends of declining community sports participation. The club's success is attributed to a strong focus on junior development, including coordinated tournaments and coaching, which has attracted 300 junior members. The club's low overheads, including affordable court hire and memberships, along with sponsorships and a government land lease, have been crucial to its revival and ability to adapt to changing community needs.
