Long Island Tennis Magazine spotlights Hamptons tennis, June challenge at SPORTIME Quogue
SPORTIME Quogue’s June 6 challenge costs $70 and includes lunch, drinks and prizes, as Hamptons tennis heads into a packed summer stretch.
Long Island Tennis Magazine’s May/June issue puts Hamptons tennis front and center, not as a footnote but as a summer market in its own right. The table of contents repeats a dedicated section titled Tennis in the Hamptons 2026, and the magazine says it is excited to host the LITM Challenges in the Hamptons for the fifth year in a row. That kind of repeat booking tells you where the energy is moving: the East End is not just getting seasonal attention, it is getting a planned circuit.
The clearest marker is the Long Island Tennis Magazine Summer Tennis Challenge at SPORTIME Quogue. The event is set for Saturday, June 6, from 11:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., with a rain date of Sunday, June 7. Entry is $70 per person, and that fee includes tournament play, catered lunch, drinks and prizes. For players trying to map the early season, that is the number to keep in mind: one afternoon, one club, one fixed price point, with enough built in to make it as much a social stop as a match day.
The Hamptons stop also has real draw behind it. Long Island Tennis Magazine’s September 2025 event at SPORTIME Quogue brought in more than 125 players, a turnout that explains why the magazine keeps returning to the same site. The format has worked because it is not a standard bracket-and-go-home setup. The Hamptons challenges have leaned into a lively feel, with a catered lunch and a post-tournament happy hour in a scenic setting, which is exactly the sort of mix that keeps adult tennis players coming back when the weather turns and the calendar fills up.
What makes this more than a single tournament date is the way it fits into the broader East End tennis picture. Hamptons Community Tennis Academy describes itself as a new eastern Long Island community tennis initiative focused on affordable, high-quality instruction, a useful counterpoint to the club-heavy side of the market. Long Island Tennis Magazine also released a Hamptons-specific guide in 2025 covering program-level details for clubs and training options across Long Island and the East End, a sign that the region now has enough depth, and enough demand, to need real organizing around where to play, where to train and where access still opens up. For the 2026 season, SPORTIME Quogue is the early anchor, and the Hamptons are once again where the summer tennis conversation starts.
