About Club

The Club was established in 1930, and is dedicated to the development of Sports in general and Tennis in particular. Initially our club had 6 grass courts and members could play only for 6 months in a year, given the monsoons in Kolkata. In late 1970s we converted 4 grass courts into clay courts, and today we have 4 clay courts and 2 grass courts.

In 2000, we established flood lights in our clay courts, and so players were now able to play in the evening also. We were amongst the first few clubs in Kolkata, who had established flood lights. We continue to strive and offer an affordable opportunity to all tennis enthusiast, from young kids to the elderly retired people to come enjoy the sports we all love.

We also run Tennis Coaching Camp called ‘The Calcutta Gymkhana Tennis Academy’, where we provide high quality but affordable tennis coaching options to the young budding tennis enthusiasts. Apart from Tennis, we offer other facilities like a well equipped Gymnasium, Table Tennis, Darts, Football table, carrom, chess and a Cafeteria.

Throughout the year we organise a number of tournaments, where all Tennis enthusiasts from the city from all age brackets, come and participate in a cordial environment. So we provide a great platform, for the sports enthusiast to play, compete and socialise. Apart from Sporting events, we also organise many social events where the members and their family can intermingle and have a good time.

We recently upgraded the tennis court with LED lighting, making it well-equipped to host national-level championships. Our mission remains to provide an affordable and welcoming space for tennis enthusiasts of all ages—whether young children discovering the game or retired individuals staying active—to enjoy the sport we all cherish.

The Calcutta Gymkhana Tennis Academy also engages into many social activities.

We try to help any budding tennis talent, who cannot afford the cost, by proving them tennis equipment and gears for free.
We also engage in distribution of Food and clothing to the poor and needy in our neighbourhood so that we can be a help to the society at large.
We also conduct blood donation camps.
