The tennis club in Saint-Avé reports stable membership but warns that its current facilities cannot meet growing demand, prompting anticipation for the upcoming courts at Kerozer.
The tennis club of Saint-Avé, located in the Morbihan department, held its annual general meeting and presented a balanced report for the past season. While the number of active members has remained steady, the club faces a growing gap between supply and demand for court time. Long waiting lists have become the norm, especially for beginners and youth groups, forcing many prospective players to seek alternatives outside the municipality.
The existing infrastructure, composed of a limited number of outdoor courts and a modest indoor hall, is increasingly strained. Club officials point out that the current facilities are not only insufficient for the volume of players but also showing signs of wear that require ongoing maintenance. As a result, training sessions are often shortened, and competitive events must be scheduled during off-peak hours, limiting the club’s ability to attract higher-level tournaments.
Municipal authorities have responded by launching a project to develop a new racket sports complex at the Kerozer pole. The planned venue will include additional indoor courts, modern lighting, and dedicated spaces for coaching and youth development. Construction is slated to begin in the coming months, with an expected opening within two years. The project is part of a broader strategy to enhance sports infrastructure in Saint-Avé and provide residents with high-quality facilities that can accommodate the club’s expanding membership.
Club leaders view the upcoming development as a turning point. They anticipate that the new courts will not only relieve current congestion but also stimulate interest in tennis across all age groups. Plans are already underway to expand junior programs, organize regional competitions, and foster partnerships with local schools. The community’s enthusiasm reflects a shared belief that modern facilities can revitalize the sport and strengthen the social fabric of the town.
