Remember – Tennis is a sport which can be enjoyed by all regardless of age, ability, gender or social background. In Barbados, it is now accessible to more individuals through the Schools Tennis Initiative Development Programmes in primary and senior schools and programmes at the National Tennis Centre in Wildey, St. Michael.
The Barbados Tennis Association is the governing body of tennis in the island and oversees the development of all aspects of the game.
The Association is determined to welcome more people into the sport, to keep their interest alive and to help all players maximize their full potential.

History Made!
After gaining promotion to Group II in 2012, our Davis Cup team of Darian King, Haydn Lewis, Seanon Williams and Russell Moseley together with Captain Kevin Yarde made Barbados history in September 2014 by beating Mexico in the Group II promotion play-off tie at the National Tennis Centre. Haydn Lewis won the deciding rubber to take the tie 3-2 after Darian King had won both his singles matches.
Victory against Mexico was the cream on the 2014 cake as the team had previously beaten #1 seeds and former World Group nation Chile in the first round in January with a follow-up home victory against El Salvador in April.
Barbados now ranked #40 in the Davis Cup rankings, have thereby gained promotion to Americas Zone Group I for the first time and will host their first round tie against #32 ranked Dominican Republic at the National Tennis Centre from March 6-8, 2015.
Ticket info to be available shortly.
