Yes, 3,600 including children and we are 'full' at the minute!
 

Does that mean that it is hard to join?

No, as memberships are coming up for renewal each month and as people leave Kuwait there are opportunities to join. I should say that we do however have a very high retention rate.

Yes, the majority is families may be up to 2/3rds of the total membership. We do however have many singles and couples too and of course all nationalities- we are a very cosmopolitan mix!

We also have an Annual International Conference (IHRSA) which is coming up on 14th and 15th December. This is the International Health and Racquets Sports Association Conference which hosts 6 International Speakers over the 2 days and is open to all members.

What facilities do you have specifically for children?

We also have kids tennis, squash, a games room, play area and pool for kids as well as special courses and seasonal events for children.
