hope as many people
as possible get
involved
with
the

holding.”
T h e
t e n n i s
section is
set to hold
an open day
on the 25th
June ahead
of Wimbledon
with two former
Davis Cup players
coming to the club.
They will hold junior and
adult coaching sessions before
playing an exhibition match. We’re hoping to make it into a
day of celebration as well with former Beckenham International
Tournament Champions in attendance.”
The Club
“The tennis section has around 400 members and 1,600
overall. There’s a lot of competition with other clubs in the
area and the Tennis Committee has worked incredibly hard
over recent years in order to attract and retain members. We
continually looking to build the structure that we have in place
in order to ensure everybody with an interest in the game has
an opportunity to enjoy tennis here.
Youth
“The junior section here has about thirty different sessions
running six days a week. We came from a point in 2011 where
one of the long-time coaches stepped down and at that point
brought in a new coaching team. That team consists of three
full time coaches and they’ve introduced a programme that
involves going into local schools and the club has regenerated
to the point where we are now coaching between 200 and 300
children per week either at the club or at local schools.”
Challenges/Ambitions
“Our goal here is to build a new pavilion for the club as
a whole. Potentially, we would like to have a gymnasium for
our members to use as well. We’re looking to evolve to become
a little more commercial to help us to progress. This should
enable us to build the clubhouse and grow the role that we play
in our community so that we can continue to provide sport for
the next 150 years.”
