Among OTF’s flagship programs include the ANZ Bank Pacific Tennis Development Program, a mini tennis program in schools in Pacific Oceania started in 1993. A collaborative effort with the ITF, this program trains local coaches and teachers to introduce mini tennis in schools and develop tennis proficiency among children. A huge success, the program is participated in by more than 30,0000 children each year.
