About Karis Tennisklubb rf / Karjaan Tenniskerho ry

Karis Tennisklubb rf / Karjaan Tenniskerho ry is a Finnish nonprofit tennis association focused on the sporting and community values associated with tennis. This website introduces our purpose, values, governance framework, and ways to contact us.

What we stand for

We believe that sport can be a positive influence in everyday life. Tennis encourages concentration, agility, coordination, persistence, and an appreciation of fair competition.

Equally important are the friendships, conversations, and community experiences that grow around a shared sporting interest.

Our approach

Every person comes to tennis with different motivations — recreation and fitness, learning new technique, or simply meeting people and staying active. A positive sporting environment respects these motivations and encourages participation without unnecessary barriers.

A commitment to good sportsmanship

Fairness, honesty, courtesy, responsibility, and respect form the basis of positive sporting experiences. These principles apply to players, volunteers, organisers, supporters, and everyone involved in the wider tennis community.

Our place in Finnish sporting life

Finland has a rich tradition of voluntary associations and community-based sport. Local sports organisations play an important role in encouraging participation, cooperation, and wellbeing. Our philosophy reflects the value of voluntary engagement, responsible governance, and positive local connections.
