Albany Tennis Academy (ATA) is situated 450km south of Perth and is one of the largest tennis academies in Country WA.

ATA was formed in 2000 when David Kerr moved back to Albany from Perth and set up Saturday morning tennis lessons for junior players. From 10 kids in the first term to 45 the next, ATA junior numbers started to grow as did the need for more days of tennis.

Within 12 months a 2 hr a week part time hobby turned into a full time career with over 600 junior players per week participating in a huge array of programs including, tennis in schools, junior coaching, squads, tadpole tennis, private lessons and more.

ATA now not only runs programs in Albany but also in neighbouring towns Mt Barker, Kendenup and Denmark.

David says: "At the Albany Tennis Academy, we offer a variety of tennis programs to suit all ages and standards. Our young and enthusiastic team of coaches will deliver super fun programs and give you or your child a great start to their tennis lives using the same latest coaching techniques as leading academies around the world!"

ATA players held a 5hr tennis-a-thon over the weekend as a fundraiser for their 2009 NSW and VIC Tennis Tour.
Players gained a minimum 10 sponsors to sponsor them for $2 per hour and then played matches for 5 hrs straight.  The players raised over $1700 for the tour.
