What do you enjoy most about being a member of Albany Tennis Club?

"I enjoy a lot of things about the Albany Tennis Club. Some of my favorites include the warm welcome from Larry and the staff at the ATC, as well as fellow members. I like that I am supporting a local organization and the care that the organization does in preserving the beautiful clay courts at the ATC. I love the community tennis events and the annual 15-Love event. I also love playing Wednesday evening singles and the annual tennis tournament."

CLUB HISTORY

 Listen to our history:

Founded: 1878

The Albany Club was one of the earliest tennis facilities in the United States, and in fact predates the Newport Tennis Hall of Fame (then called the Newport Casino) by two years.

 1878 The Albany Club was erected on the SE corner of Swan and Jay Streets with two indoor courts.

 1883 One outdoor court added.

 1912 The Ridgefield Club sold the property, where the club currently resides, to the YMCA.

 1930’s Bill Tilden, one of America’s most famous players, visited the courts.

 1940’s A subgroup of Ridgefield YMCA members formed the Albany Tennis Association to promote tennis and related social events. Annual dinner dances were held at Jack’s Restaurant in downtown Albany.

 1968 The YMCA operated the eight clay courts until 1968 when Ridgefield Park was acquired by the City of Albany.

 1973 The Ridgefield Tennis Association incorporated as The Albany Tennis Club when the members received approval from Mayor Erastus Corning III to form The Ridgefield Tennis Association and assume responsibility for the maintenance and operation of the courts.
