Dragon Signs, a UK leading signage maker, has extended its partnership with Tennis Wales – providing funds to grow and develop the sport until 2024.
As part of the partnership, Dragon Signs will continue as the official signage partner to the National Governing Body, supporting tennis clubs, parks and indoor tennis centres across Wales.
The partnership also partly funds the annual Tennis Wales Awards by sponsoring the Development Coach of the Year category, supporting those working in grassroots tennis coaching.
This year, the partnership extends further to sponsor the Dragon Signs Welsh Local Tour – a national calendar of junior, one-day tennis competitions enjoyed by over 1,300 Welsh participants.
Simon Johnson, Chief Executive of Tennis Wales commented on the extension of the partnership for two more years:
“We have really enjoyed working with the team at Dragon Signs. Their expertise has helped us to modernise the signage and branding at Welsh tennis facilities and their latest investment will support volunteers and junior tennis players right across the country for another two years.”
Commercial sponsorship allows the National Governing Body to invest further into tennis development across Wales, providing accessible tennis for disabled players, schools, families and players of all ages.
Funding also supports Team Wales in regional, national and international competitions, all while developing grassroots tennis through coaching bursaries, facilities funding, and youth participation.
Rhys Harrington, Managing Director of Dragon Signs said:
“The extension of the partnership with Tennis Wales further solidifies our passion and commitment to Tennis across Wales. With the addition of a new Dragon Signs Welsh Local Tour underway throughout 2022, we couldn’t be more excited about the year ahead.”
