Tennis

The Brattleboro Outing Club tennis facility, conveniently located at 202 Cedar Street in Brattleboro, is home to six of the most beautifully-maintained red clay courts in New England. With the rustic charm and casual setting of its 30s-era tennis clubhouse, low membership fees, and relaxed family-oriented atmosphere, the BOC tennis facility offers a superb tennis option for residents of all ages.

The tennis season runs from late April until early November, depending on the weather. Adult membership is $275 per person, per year. Membership for children 21 and under is free when they are signed up with a parent, guardian, or Big Brother/Sister. Otherwise, the junior membership fee is only $40 per year, and $100 for young adults ages 19 to 25. Guests are welcome to play with a member for a $20 fee-per-court use (i.e., one to three guests may play for $20, per reservation).

We phased out our former work credit program in 2020. Historically the BOC has always been a volunteer-driven organization, and the tennis committee and the BOC board encourage members to continue this time-honored tradition. Volunteer participation allows the BOC to remain affordable and to retain its unique character, and it’s also a great way to meet other members.

The Membership Welcome Letter will give you all the information you need about the club, including how to stay abreast of what is happening at the club, the different opportunities offered to club members, the few rules that are needed to keep the club enjoyable for all, and suggestions for meeting other members, such as club mixers, singles and doubles leagues, youth camps, adult clinics and private or group lessons.

TENNIS CLUB RULES AND MEETINGS

This is a casual club and there are not many rules. The rules we have are largely based on common sense and courtesy. We welcome new ideas. Feel free to contact any member of the committee to discuss ideas for improving the club, express concerns, request clarification.

We have an easy-to-adhere-to dress code, which we’ve found allows us to be casual and expressive while still being respective of others. Here are the rules:

1. We ask that everyone wear a shirt/top.

2. We ask that clothing not be offensive in style or message.

3. We ask that appropriate footwear be worn so as to protect our playing surfaces.

4. We do not allow dogs at the club.

The BOC tennis committee consists of up to twelve members who volunteer their time to conduct the business of the tennis program. All members are welcome at the tennis committee meetings held monthly through the season.
