Who We Are and What We Do

The Quonochontaug Tennis Club was founded in 1965 as a non-profit club for the enjoyment of its members - all of whom are Central Beach and East Beach residents in the beachside community of Quonochontaug (which lies between Ninigret Pond and Quonochontaug Pond along the Block Island Sound, in Charlestown, Rhode Island).

QTC offers a variety of programs and special events for its members throughout the summer months. This includes group and private lessons / clinics, round robin scrambles and travel teams, as well as a variety of adult and teen social events.
