IC Awards Worldwide Updates Background History of the IC Council Links to Tennis Websites Secure Area



Frank Sedgman Frank Sedgman
President of the IC Council
Welcome to the Internet site of the Council of International Lawn Tennis Clubs.

Many of you when visiting an international tournament may have seen present and past players wearing the pink and steel grey colours of the International Club in their ties and scarves. Sometimes when you have been at a club you will have seen a pink and grey flag flying over a match being played in a friendly spirit.

This website will tell you more about the ideals and activities of the family of International Clubs (ICs) whose colours these are. It will give the ICs themselves a modern means of communicating news and information about each other's Clubs and about the Council which is the guardian of them all. We also hope it will, through its links, open the door for you to the most important tennis websites on the Internet today.

International Clubs, and there are now thirty-four of them, allow present and past international players, many of whom are Davis and Federation Cup players, to promote and renew friendship not only across the net but across the world. ICs encourage the highest standards of fair play and sportsmanship and are especially concerned to foster these ideals in junior players; and they generally promote the fine game of tennis.
