Persatuan Tenis Padang Malaysia (LTAM)
The tennis federation in Malaysia · Lawn Tennis Association of Malaysia
The Lawn Tennis Association of Malaysia (LTAM), publicly branded 'TennisMalaysia', is Malaysia's national governing body for tennis. Tennis administration traces back to Malayan Lawn Tennis, formed in 1921 under British colonial administration; LTAM itself was formed in 1965 as an ITF affiliate. It now functions through fifteen affiliates — one from each Malaysian state/territory plus the Armed Forces — and is run by an elected President (Mirzan Bin Mahathir) and Executive Committee. It publishes national player rankings across all categories, organises the national tournament calendar (TennisMalaysia National Circuit, Junior Tour), selects and prepares players for international events including ATF (Asian Tennis Federation) age-group series and ITF World Tennis Tour events hosted in Malaysia, and provides coach and official education. Tournament entry is handled through the BOUNX Sport app rather than a federation-run portal. Since March 2014 it has partnered with the Malaysian National Sports Council on a National Tennis Academy. No clubs/licensee count was found on the pages read.
Getting a licence
A licence is needed to play official tennis competitions in Malaysia.
Tournament registration (the closest LTAM equivalent to a competition licence) is done via the 'BOUNX Sport' mobile app: download, register, create a player profile (or a child's profile under 'Manage Kids'), then search for and enter TennisMalaysia National Tennis Centre tournaments. No fee schedule is published.
Competitions and rankings
