Tennis Club Kordin
Tennis Club Kordin traces its origin to 1979 when Mr. Lorry Sant, then Minister of Lands, passed over the Kordin Naval prison yard and two adjoining halls to the newly formed Paola Tennis Club. The yard was asphalted and four tennis courts were constructed. In 1988, for some reason or other, this club was disbanded. However, Mr. Joe Barbara retained the premises and formed a new club under the new name of Tennis Club Kordin.
In 1989 a new committee was elected under the leadership of Mr. Benny Vidal. Together with his Committee, the newly elected president set out on the arduous task of improving the infrastructure of the Club. The four courts were resurfaced with tarmac and new modern flood-lights were installed on three of them and the fourth court with the conventional system of flood-lights. A new wire netting was erected around the four courts. The Hall-Restaurant was fully refurbished with a large bar area, and comfortable showers. A large stand was built on top of this area. The entire premises, was given a new look, with all the surrounding high walls being redecorated. The newly refurbished premises were officially opened by the Hon. Minister for Sport Jesmond Mugliett in the year 2000.
Tennis Club Kordin is today considered as one of the leading tennis clubs on the Island with a membership of over five-hundred members. Annually, the Club holds various Team-tournaments, Singles’ competition and a mixed-Doubles league. These events are extremely popular and well patronized by the members of club. Coaching courses for both children and adults are held ever Sunday from October till the end of May.
TCK is very proud of its achievements in promoting the Royal game of tennis in Malta.
