WE-ITF is a non-profit organisation that has been operating for over 15 years, whilst continuously maintaining a high success rate on state, national and international arenas. As a club WE-ITF has the highest rankings in Australia with a multitude of state, national, and Australasian champions. WE-ITF has been one of the most successful clubs when ITF competition is concerned with 100% success right of its students representing Australia on international arena (e.g. every student who represented Australia returned home at least with one medal). In 2000 Ben Gursansky won bronze medal in Asian Games in Kazakhstan. Joanna Kruk was the first Australian Junior World Champion she brought home a gold and two silver medals from Argentina in 2002. Moreover, WE-ITF 5-member team returned from the World Championships in Korea (2004) with 5 gold, 3 silver and 4 bronze medals.

The WE-ITF was founded in 1993 by Dr Zibby Kruk an ITF instructor who migrated to Australia from Poland. The club initiated its activity in the Burton Community House in November 1993. With only 3 students at the beginning, 10 years later the club has become a great success and a great contribution not only to the community in Salisbury but also has marked Adelaide permanently on a national and international arena.
