Alan Fleming Senior Open Clay Court Championship Tournament
Named South Carolina Adult Tournament of the Year, the Alan Fleming Senior Open Clay Court Championship is in its 36th consecutive year. Held on Seabrook Island, South Carolina we attract some 250 senior tennis players from more than 20 states to compete in this annual event. While the main attraction of this top-tier tournament is great tennis in a spectacular, inviting setting, the gracious hospitality of low country islanders and sponsoring businesses serves as an important magnet for top tennis players and enthusiasts alike.
This year, we invite you, too, to join us for challenging tennis in a world-class event, and to our Island--Seabrook-- just 30 miles south of Charleston, edged by nearly four miles of ocean and riverfront beaches, home to a spectacular range of wildlife and a thriving ecosystem. From breathtaking sunsets to streets lined with live oaks and Spanish moss, the beauty of our island is unparalleled. Come take a visit and become part of Seabrook Island.

This year again the charitable beneficiary of the Fleming Tournament is the Sea Islands Blessing Basket, a Sea Islands Hunger Awareness Foundation (SIHAF), A 501 (C) (3) non-profit organization mission. SIHAF supports charitable food-related that feed the hungry and provide drinkable well water to those who do not have fresh water on Wadamalaw and Johns Island. SIHAF is 100% volunteer operated and distributes 98% of the money raised to families in need. Once a month Sea Islands Blessing Basket distributes food to some 700 residents of Johns Island and Wadamalaw whose income is below the poverty level. The food distributed is enough for seven meals.
