A hundred-year history

Back in 1902, a group of sports enthusiasts founded the club. Based on the Club Social La Salut, which had been set up in 1899. The original name was Salut Sport Club and, besides tennis, football was played there initially. In fact, when some FC Barcelona players left their club in 1911 to found Casual SC, they established their headquarters at the Salut Sport Club. The Club Tennis de la Salut received the Creu de Sant Jordi (St George’s Cross) in 2002 for a history that has turned it into Catalonia’s number two tennis club.
