4 FACILITIES GUIDE | JUNE 2020 OVERVIEW For any sport, the right environment is key. Whether to attract new participants or to help them reach their true potential, facilities play a vital role in the growth of sport. Get it right and people will enjoy visiting; get it wrong and attendance and attitudes may be negatively affected. To this end, the ITF established a working group of facilities experts from major tennis-playing nations, to design and develop an international Facilities Guide, which represents 'best practice' from around the world. This guide has been developed by the ITF as a simple reference for those wanting to build a tennis court whether domestic, tournament or club. The Facilities Guide is supported by the ITF Recognition programme, which provides end-users with an independent assessment of the quality of their court. Please note the following when reading these guidelines: • Some of the information contained therein has been supplied by the industry and nothing within these guidelines constitutes an ITF endorsement or approval of companies or products. The ITF is not responsible for the accuracy of the information supplied. • The information relates to the design of dedicated tennis facilities only and are not necessarily appropriate for a multi-sport environment where the same surface is used for a number of different sports.
