The Deutsche Tennis Schiedsrichter Vereinigung (DTSV), or German Tennis Officials Association, brings together tennis officials living in Germany. Working closely with the German Tennis Federation (DTB), it supports the training, assignment and development of tennis officials. The association also maintains connections with the International Tennis Federation (ITF), the WTA, the ATP, and tennis federations and officials around the world.

DTSV helps people explore routes into officiating, with information for aspiring chair umpires, referees and line judges or match assistants. Its guidance outlines the qualities each role calls for, from concentration and sharp eyesight to organisation, sound judgement and teamwork. The association also invites tennis officials to become members and provides information about its contacts, member experiences and Junior Group. Visitors can find downloads and current news, as well as details about the organisation and how to get in touch. Through these resources and its work with national and international partners, DTSV supports the people who help tennis matches run fairly and smoothly.
