For many years the heart of Kent tennis has been situated within the Bromley/Beckenham region of our county. Nevertheless, in East Kent there have always been people passionate about the sport, keen to help others enjoy all of its benefits.
Before he passed away in 2018, Ashford man, Frank Brake (founder of Brake Bros frozen foods, the UK catering industries largest supplier), committed to helping enthusiastic tennis people within the East Kent Tennis Community.
His advice and financial support will continue to help us develop opportunities for players, coaches and clubs. No longer is it necessary to drive west along the M2 or M20, because exciting, affordable tennis experiences are available for all within the East Kent region.
Use this site to find a club, coach or event that helps you get the most out of your tennis experience and if you need any help, just contact us.
We look forward to seeing you on court!
