Welcome to VICOIS!
TENNIS CLUB VICOIS was founded with a simple yet powerful belief: that tennis is more than a sport—it is a lifelong source of growth, connection, and shared joy. From our earliest days, the club has existed to facilitate the practice of lawn tennis in an organized, accessible, and welcoming environment. What began as a gathering of passionate players has grown into a vibrant nonprofit organization dedicated to serving athletes of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds.
Our club provides structured play, quality facilities, and a supportive framework that allows members to enjoy tennis at their own pace while continually improving their skills. Whether someone is picking up a racket for the first time or refining competitive techniques, TENNIS CLUB VICOIS exists to make tennis approachable, enjoyable, and meaningful.
At the heart of our journey is a commitment to community. Tennis is an individual sport, but it thrives in collective spaces—on shared courts, through friendly competition, and in the bonds formed between players. We are proud to be a place where sport and social connection intersect, creating an environment that values respect, fair play, and mutual encouragement.
Our Mission
Our mission is to promote and develop the practice of lawn tennis by providing inclusive access to facilities, structured programs, and a supportive community that nurtures skill development, fair competition, and enjoyment of the game.
We aim to:
Make tennis accessible to players of all levels and ages
Encourage continuous learning and athletic development
Foster sportsmanship, respect, and integrity on and off the court
Build a strong, connected community through shared participation
As a nonprofit organization, our mission extends beyond competition or performance. We exist to serve our members and the wider community by using tennis as a tool for physical health, personal growth, and social inclusion. Every program we offer and every decision we make is guided by our responsibility to create lasting positive impact.
