The Tennis and Racquet Club
The Tennis and Racquet Club (T&R) was founded in 1902 and remains the oldest athletic and social club in the city of Boston. The club is known for its century-old tradition of court tennis (the regal, slate-walled ancestors of all racquet sports), the unique and exciting game of racquets, and its top-rated squash program. The T&R also offers a fitness center, men’s and women’s locker rooms, function rooms, a full service member bar, and a full calendar of social events.
Our professionals, Leon Smart (Director of Athletics) and Neil Smith (Court Tennis/Racquets Professional) are among the best in the country. The professionals provide private and group lessons for members of all skill levels.
The T&R was founded to build camaraderie in a highly welcoming atmosphere unique to a club that combines social activities and athletics. Our squash leagues, frequent tournaments, and lively social events provide countless opportunities for the new and seasoned member to enjoy the club.
The T&R has reciprocal memberships with various racquet clubs located in the United States, Canada, and England. In addition, the club is a member of the IHRSA Passport Program which allows club members to access IHRSA affiliated clubs around the world.
