UNION LTC Berndorf 1907

About UNION LTC Berndorf 1907

UNION Lawn Tennisclub Berndorf 1907 plays on four clay courts on the Sportpromenade in the centre of Berndorf; it was founded in 1907. Children and young people up to 18 play here free of charge, and full membership costs 175 euros a year.

Affordable tennis

The club wants to keep tennis affordable for young and older players alike. The fees according to the website:

• Full member: 175 euros
• Associate member: 130 euros
• Students: 90 euros
• Dormant: 25 euros
• Key for the facility: a one-off 15 euros on joining

The fee is due by the end of April for the season in question; if you join during the season, a separate arrangement applies. Every member does five hours of work on the facility per season, and 10 euros is charged for each hour not worked.

For children and young people

Until their 18th birthday, the courts are free of charge. Trained staff and training equipment are available for getting started and improving: balls for all age groups, a ball machine, ball pick-up tubes and loan rackets.

Playing as a guest

• Guests from Triestingtal clubs: play with LTC members free of charge when courts are free
• Everyone else: plays with a member for a court fee of 10 euros per hour; the money goes in the letterbox in the clubhouse

Only tennis shoes on the courts. In dry weather the courts are watered before and after play, then dragged with the drag net and the lines swept.

When people meet

Fixed playing times are Monday afternoon and Saturday morning. On Mondays people often stay together after playing: there are two barbecues, a covered eating area and fridges with drinks for that. Since July 2023 a photovoltaic system with 4.2 kWp has been in operation on the facility.

In Berndorf since 1907

The club was founded in May 1907. Hermine Krupp, sister of the industrialist Arthur Krupp, provided the land and the money for the first grass courts; in 1914 the clubhouse was built, which around 15 members converted from 1995 to 1997 in more than 1,000 hours of work. After the Second World War the club was re-founded in 1956 and reactivated in 1958 as Lawn-Tennis-Club Berndorf. In 1978 the fourth court was added. The three lower-lying courts by the Triesting were flooded in 1991, 1997 and 2002 and restored by the members each time. Men's teams have played in the NÖTV championship since 1960, and a women's team since 1977; in 2005 the women were promoted to the Landesliga. Since the general meeting of 4 July 2023 the club has belonged to SPORTUNION. The chairman is Ing. Andreas Schlee.
