Sleepy Hollow Swim & Tennis Club

What Sleepy Hollow Swim & Tennis Club does

Sleepy Hollow Swim & Tennis Club is a private, member-owned recreational club founded in 1955 in Orinda, California, serving families in the Lamorinda area (Orinda, Moraga, Lafayette). The club operates from a single 1 Sunnyside Lane facility featuring an 8-lane competition pool and a recreation pool with splash zone and 15-foot waterslide, alongside 11 outdoor tennis courts (2 lighted, 2 championship style). It runs a competitive youth swim team (Sleepy Hollow Legends) that has won six OMPA championships, a tiered after-school tennis program for ages 5-18, USTA adult and junior league teams, and the Legendland summer day camp for ages 5-11. Coaching staff includes Director of Tennis Darrin Cohen and Head Swim Coach Matt Ehrenberger (tenure since 1994), with an affiliated coaching relationship with Orinda Aquatics.

Revenue is generated through a three-part membership fee structure (non-refundable initiation fee, long-duration annual assessment tied to the renovation loan, and monthly dues covering pool and tennis operating expenses), supplemented by swim and tennis lessons, league and clinic fees, Legendland camp tuition, bootcamp fitness classes ($10/class), guest access ($10/person), and private facility rentals. Programs are delivered by club-employed coaches and registered through Captyn, TopDog Tennis, and TeamUnify platforms. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via online application and community word-of-mouth, with marketing support from OMPA and USTA league participation and member social events. Pricing for most programs (swim team, tennis team, private lessons) is not publicly disclosed and requires email inquiry, consistent with a personalized, relationship-driven member sales motion rather than a transactional one.

Direct peers

• Claremont Country Club: Historic East Bay private country club in Oakland with swim, tennis, and dining facilities. Closely comparable in family-membership model, swim-team programming, and tennis offerings — and referenced in SHSTC's own management bios (Jim Coyne served as Director of Tennis there for 27 years).
• Orinda Country Club: Private, family-oriented country club located in Orinda, CA offering swim, tennis, and social amenities to Lamorinda families. Operates in the same immediate geographic market with overlapping member base and comparable dual-sport programming.
• Moraga Country Club: Private family country club in Moraga, CA serving the same Lamorinda community with pool, tennis, and social programming. Directly comparable in geographic footprint, membership demographics, and program mix.
• Meadow Swim and Tennis Club: Membership-based swim and tennis club in the East Bay with similar youth swim-team and tennis programming. Explicitly referenced in SHSTC's coaching-staff bios (Tony Ravnik and Kevin Honey both previously coached at Meadow), confirming direct personnel and program overlap.

Broad incumbents

• Round Hill Country Club: Larger, full-service private country club in Alamo, CA offering golf, tennis, pool, dining, and fitness. Broader amenity set than SHSTC but overlapping Lamorinda-adjacent member base and competitive for family memberships.
• Crow Canyon Country Club: Private family country club in Danville, CA with golf, tennis, swim, and social programming. Competes for the same East Bay family demographic with a fuller amenity portfolio.
• YMCA of the East Bay: Regional non-profit operating multiple family swim, youth sports, and fitness facilities across the East Bay. A more affordable, lower-touch competitor for families seeking swim-team and youth recreation programming.
• Blackhawk Country Club: Upscale Danville, CA private country club with two 18-hole golf courses, extensive tennis, swim, and fitness facilities. Represents the broader full-service competitor SHSTC families might consider as their needs expand.
• Contra Costa Country Club: Established private country club in Pleasant Hill, CA offering golf, tennis, pool, and dining. Comparable East Bay family-membership positioning with broader recreational offerings.

Others

• Captyn: Membership-management software platform powering SHSTC's member portal, program registration, and Legendland camp sign-up. Adjacent technology ecosystem partner rather than a competitor.
