About Tambour Tour

The Tambour Tour is an exciting real tennis tournament designed to provide opportunities for players aspiring to break into the top level and enhance their game. The tournament takes place over a season, featuring multiple rounds held at different clubs across the UK. Players with handicaps ranging from 0 to 15 can participate, competing for points in each round based on their performance.

The Tambour Tour has been created with a clear and noble vision - to provide a dynamic platform for players to challenge themselves, improve their skills, and strive for greatness.

This ambitious mission reflects the tour's commitment to nurturing talent and supporting players on their journey to success.
