Smashing Pink is Europe’s first and the world’s largest LGBTI+ tennis club!
Smashing Pink was founded in 1996 as a follow-up on the participation in the 1994 Gay Games in New York by a group of gay and lesbian tennis enthusiasts. We are an official club of the Royal Dutch Lawn Tennis Association (KNLTB). We have approximately 275 club members covering all the different gender and sexual identities and nationalities from all over the world.

Full Membership fee: €240,-

Our outdoor season is from April through September.

(After July 1st: €122,- and after August 1st: € 80,- for the rest of the season. Our outdoor season is from April through September.
You will pay the full amount of €240,- for the following years if you don’t cancel your membership on time.)

If you’re not sure about becoming a full member of Smashing Pink yet and you’d like to get to know our club better first, we offer an alternative way to play tennis at our club during our outdoor season (April through September): a Monthly subscription.

More info via 'Lees meer'.

In case you have any questions about becoming a member of the club or wanting to get to know our club better, please send an email to kennismaken@smashing.pink. 
Also if you’ve just become a new member and you’re looking for some tennis buddies to be able to play with! We will help you find the right members to do some nice hitting and match you up with others who have a similar tennis level.

Also, use the same email address in order to request to be added to the international WhatsApp group!
All the important club news will be translated into English in this group and our non-Dutch speaking members use this group to make tennis dates.

Please feel welcome to show up at our tennis toss events on Monday and Friday evening between 6-10pm! Ask for the toss boss and (s)he will match you up for a doubles session. The members present will tell you more about the club...

Important to know is that every time you want to play tennis, you have to use our digital reservation system (the terminal on the right side of the hallway leading to the indoor courts): 

1. Either to confirm a prior reservation made online or through our ClubApp;
2. In order to book a court at the club ‘on the spot’.

Not using the digital reservation system before you use our courts, enables other members to book your court instead! Only members who have booked/confirmed a court through our digital reservation system have the right to play...
