Chelsea Tennis Club was founded on a simple belief: that great tennis coaching builds confidence, character and community.

Growing up in Kensington, our founder Alex Tromp fell in love with the game early — going on to represent both Imperial College London and University College London in the men's varsity team. A former competitive player, he left a corporate career to pursue a lifelong mission: to grow the sport and get more people on court.

Over the years Alex has inspired countless players to pick up a racket for the first time — and helped many go on to reach their full potential. He leads the club hands-on, coaching players of every age and stage across Chelsea and Kensington, from first-timers to experienced competitors refining their game.

"Tennis has given me lifelong friendships, confidence and purpose. Building a club that can do the same for others is a privilege." — Alex Tromp
