At Swanmore Lawn Tennis Club, we believe tennis is more than a sport — it’s a lifelong passion, a tool for personal growth, and a way to connect communities. Our philosophy guides how we grow, play, engage, and invest in the future.


Inspiring a Lifelong Love of Tennis


We strive to make tennis accessible and enjoyable for everyone — regardless of age, ability, or background. Whether you’re picking up a racquet for the first time or competing in a league, we aim to create a positive environment that fosters skill development, confidence, and joy in the game.


Growing Through Participation and Opportunity

We are committed to expanding our club through inclusive outreach, coaching pathways, and varied playing formats. We welcome juniors, families, adults, and especially work to encourage more girls into the sport, ensuring everyone has the chance to play, learn and thrive.

Creating a Supportive, Inclusive Community

Our club is a place where people feel welcome, valued, and connected. We nurture a culture of respect, encouragement, and club spirit — promoting intergenerational play, volunteer involvement, and strong ties with local schools and organisations.

Championing Player Development at All Levels

From beginners to competitive players, we support every stage of the tennis journey. Our structured coaching programmes, dedicated volunteers, and development pathways ensure that everyone can improve at their own pace — with expert guidance along the way.

Investing in Our People and Facilities

We continually invest in our courts, clubhouse, and coaching to provide the best possible environment for players and members. We listen to our community, support member-led ideas, and plan strategically for long-term success and sustainability.

Encouraging Future Generations

We believe in nurturing the next generation of tennis players by offering mentorship, role models, and accessible entry points for young people — particularly through school partnerships, girls-only sessions, and junior-focused initiatives
