GreenTennis
For you

Tennis is played by
very different people.

A federation board, a junior coach, a club caretaker and a 10-year-old player do not need the same thing from a sustainability project. Pick the path that fits you.

For Clubs

For tennis clubs and facility teams

From the people who unlock the gates at 7am to the ones who run the bar at 9pm.

Assess your club

Problem

Clubs run on tight margins. Sustainability is rarely on the daily checklist, and when it is, there is no shared playbook to follow.

Intervention

The Facilities Guide and Toolkit (D3.1) gives club staff practical operational checklists for energy, water, waste, materials and procurement, plus a self-assessment to benchmark progress.

Impact

Lower running costs, measurable environmental performance and a credible story to tell members, sponsors and local authorities.

For Coaches

For coaches and academy teams

The people on court every day, shaping how the next generation thinks about the sport.

Download the resources

Problem

Coaches are trusted role models for young players, yet existing coaching curricula rarely treat sustainability as a coachable competency.

Intervention

The Online Gamified Education Programme (D3.4) and the Educational and Awareness Raising Resources (D3.3) give coaches structured content, drills and conversations they can use without leaving the court.

Impact

Sustainability becomes part of how the sport is taught, not a separate side track. Young players carry it through their careers.

For Federations

For national and regional federations

The bodies with the leverage to set standards across an entire country.

Partner with the consortium

Problem

Federations want to act, but lack a sector-specific evidence base, a credible certification path and a way to demonstrate impact to their boards and to government.

Intervention

The full GreenTennis evidence stack — D2.1 literature review, D2.2 field study, D3.1 facilities guide and D3.2 event management guide — gives federations a defensible basis for policy, training and procurement decisions.

Impact

A credible national pathway, aligned with the European Green Deal and the EU Work Plan for Sport, that turns 'we care about sustainability' into measurable progress.

For Players

For players, parents and fans

The community that decides what tennis culture looks like.

Watch the films

Problem

Most players, parents and fans want a more sustainable sport but do not see clear, age-appropriate ways to participate, especially at junior level.

Intervention

The awareness films, the comic book and the Carbon Footprint Mobile App (D3.5) give every member of the tennis community a way to engage — from a child reading issue 1 to a parent tracking the family footprint.

Impact

A tennis culture in which everyday choices, from the ball you reuse to the trip you share, are part of how the sport is played.
