Salisbury Tennis Club has been named Herts LTA Club of the Year 2025 in recognition of its remarkable transformation and the community spirit that defines the club.
The accolade celebrates the Fleetville-based club’s achievements across all areas of tennis, from grassroots development and coaching to facilities, volunteering, and community engagement.
Club chairman Jonathan Watson said: “We’re absolutely thrilled to receive this award. It’s fantastic recognition of all the great things that have happened at the club in recent years, from the new courts and lighting to the incredible commitment of our volunteers and the warm, inclusive community we’ve built together. Salisbury really is a special little club.”
Over the past few years, Salisbury Tennis Club has undertaken a major programme of improvements, including resurfacing courts, installing new LED floodlights, and enhancing its grounds.
Beyond the facilities, the club has become a hub for local tennis lovers of all ages and abilities. Members support charity events for The OLLIE foundation, Mind in Mid Herts and Youth Talk and volunteer their time to help the club thrive.
The club’s coaching programme continues to grow, offering opportunities for juniors and adults alike, while its welcoming atmosphere has helped it become an inclusive and community-focused club.
Jonathan added: “Thank you to everyone who has supported us, members, volunteers, the committee past and present, and those who kindly nominated the club.”
