General information SV Kampong Tennis

The association SV Kampong Tennis, together with Hockey, Football, Cricket, Squash and Jeu de Boules, forms the Federation SV Kampong. Kampong is an omni association and together has more than 6000 members. All these associations use the accommodation on Laan van Maarschalkerweerd in Utrecht. Kampong started with football and cricket in 1902 and hockey was added in 1935, followed by squash in 1978, tennis in 1979 and Jeu de Boules in 1987. SV Kampong Tennis is the third largest association within SV Kampong and has 735 members (as of January 2023). Of the 735, 597 are senior members and 138 youth members.

SV Kampong Tennis has six LED-lit, sheltered artificial grass courts, which can be played all year round. At the tennis park we now also have a Tennis Pavilion and a beautifully decorated terrace. At the sports park of SV Kampong on the Laan van Maarschalkerweerd you will also meet all kinds of other athletes. Many members not only play tennis at SV Kampong, but also hockey, football or squash. The membership of SV Kampong Tennis (150 euros for seniors and 80 to 110 euros for juniors) has been the lowest in Utrecht for some time now.

An omniclub like SV Kampong has its advantages and disadvantages. It can be very busy on the site, on Saturday mornings with children playing football and hockey or Sunday afternoon in the clubhouse, but it also means that the large clubhouse is almost always open and that the assortment is large. During the week, for example, you can choose from a large number of hot meals every evening.

Members of SV Kampong Tennis do not have to work a mandatory bar shift, but volunteers are of course needed to organize everything, just like at any other association. There are plenty of opportunities to play tennis, even if you don't (yet) have a partner to play with. Of course you can participate in the KNLTB competition in the spring and autumn and we organize all kinds of competitions and tournaments for youth and seniors, including the annual Club Championships and the Open Tournament. If you want to get to know new people quickly, you can join our successful Toss every Monday evening and Saturday morning, where everyone is welcome.

About half of the members, including almost all youth members, take tennis lessons. The tennis training at SV Kampong Tennis has been provided by TBL for years. The trainers teach at all levels and as long as there is room, everyone is eligible.
