Introduction

 

During 1997, a group of professional Tennis players along with investors launched the first private Tennis Academy out of pure passion for the sport, yet after massive success, the academy was expanded into a fully-fledged sporting club.

Building on the positive reputation, the Tennis Academy expanded twice to include all sports and social activities; SSC Tennis Academy is one of the most renown in the country and has around 700 players of all levels.

Smash Sporting Club is constructed over an area of 20 acres, with fully-fledged modern sports and social facilities that cater to all ages, providing a revamped sporting club experience for its users.
