Our mission is to promote and grow the sport of tennis in Santa Barbara
The Santa Barbara Tennis Patrons, founded in 1971, holds a significant place in the local community as the oldest community tennis association in California. Its creation was the result of a collective effort by a group of dedicated tennis enthusiasts who sought to create opportunities for young players in the Santa Barbara area. Their goal was not only to ensure the growth of tennis as a sport but also to elevate the level of junior tennis in the region by providing structured support and resources.
At its core, the Santa Barbara Tennis Patrons remains focused on its mission to foster the development and improve the quality of junior tennis throughout the community. This mission is carried out through a variety of initiatives designed to help young players of all skill levels, from beginner to elite, succeed on the court. These programs include scholarships, coaching opportunities, tournament organization, and community outreach, all aimed at providing a supportive environment for youth to develop both their athletic and personal skills.
As a long-standing institution, the Tennis Patrons have had a lasting impact on the growth of tennis in the area, providing a foundation for the sport to thrive locally while encouraging sportsmanship
