LPB Bank provided a loan of 310 thousand euros for the reconstruction project of the tennis club, within the framework of which a hangar and four tennis courts with a hard surface complying with international standards have already been built.

The new facilities were constructed in December 2022, and now the club is ready to provide tennis players with high-profile courts, which are also suitable for organizing local and international competitions.

During the project, we established excellent and professional cooperation with LPB Bank," emphasized the representatives of the tennis club.

The association's objectives are to popularize and develop tennis in Jelgava as part of a healthy lifestyle; ensure accessibility of tennis as a sport to every resident of Jelgava; offer training in tennis to children and young people; hold Latvian and international ranking competitions in Jelgava.
