Badener Tennis Verein

About Badener Tennis Verein

The Badener Tennis Verein, known in everyday use as BTC for Badener Tennisclub, plays at the Sporthalle Baden at Waltersdorfer Straße 40 on six indoor courts and three outdoor courts. Founded in 1983, the club focuses on team tennis and youth development, and the indoor hall means play continues in winter too.

How it started

The club was founded in 1983. Hobby players who played on three clay courts next to the Sporthalle Baden decided at the time to set up a club of their own. In 2023 the BTC celebrated its 40th anniversary. According to the club website it now has more than 120 members; the anniversary text from 2023 speaks of over 140.

Where play takes place

• Indoor hall: 6 courts with granulated carpet surface and LED lighting
• Outdoor courts: 3 courts, also with LED lighting
• Bar/restaurant: for food and drink after the match, the club's 2023 anniversary text names Rudi Gehrer's "Matchball"

Training and ranking list

Members have weekly team training, in summer and in winter. The club places a focus on youth development and presents the programme to those interested in a personal meeting. There are also club championships, the BTC Masters and social events.

The BTC ranking list runs over the summer season: play is in groups of three, and in each round of one to two months there is one player promoted and one relegated. You can register by e-mail to btc@gmx.at. According to the club website, the ranking list starts on 15 April, and the registration deadline is 10 April; no year is given.

Teams in the championship

The teams play in the NÖTV Südost district, in the general class, the seniors and the juniors. According to the 2023 anniversary text, the women competed in the Kreisliga A and the first men's team in the Kreisliga B. On its home page the club reports two championship titles without a date: the seniors 45+ unbeaten, with a play-off for promotion to the Landesliga, and the men in the Kreisliga C. For current tables and results of all BTC teams, the club refers to the NÖTV pages.
