Peanut Tennis

Peanut Tennis is an independent Australian directory for competitive tennis. It brings two searches that usually live in different places into one site: finding a court near you, and finding a sanctioned tournament you can enter. The listings cover 3,737 venues across the country, including 1,361 free park courts, plus 149 upcoming tournaments that can be filtered by state, age group and date.

The site is built for players who compete, or want to start competing, rather than for casual court booking. Court results are ordered nearest first and note lights, surface and how to get on court. Tournament pages let you see who has entered before the draw is published, so you can size up a field before committing.

Key Features

• Court finder with practical detail. Each venue entry notes surface, lighting and how to get on court, so you know whether a venue suits an evening hit before you travel to it.
• Free park court filter. City pages such as free courts in Melbourne and free courts in Sydney surface park and council courts that cost nothing to play on.
• Tournament search by state, age group and date. Jump straight to the 63 Victorian or 30 Queensland events currently listed, or narrow the calendar by age group and date.
• Entry lists before the draw. See who is entered in an event before the draw comes out, which makes it easier to judge the standard of a field.
• Plain English guides. Short explainers cover UTR, tournament tiers, ball colours and what to expect at your first tournament.
• Association by-laws rewritten. Rules pages translate association by-laws into plain English so eligibility and entry conditions are quicker to check.

Who Should Use Peanut Tennis

• Adults entering a first sanctioned tournament. The guides and entry lists remove the guesswork around tiers and standard.
• Parents planning a junior season. Filtering by state, age group and date makes a season of events easier to map out.
• Players hunting free courts. Anyone in Melbourne, Sydney or another city can find park courts nearby without club fees.
• Travelling players. Check venues and fixtures in another state before a trip.
