Every Sunday, somewhere in Berlin: The Beyond Berlin Club

Different people, same game, wearing the Laurel Wreath for the love of all things tennis.

BEYOND is a Berlin tennis community built on a simple belief - sport is about openness, and tennis is no exception. We built this because tennis felt like it belonged to someone else, locked behind country clubs and dress codes and unwritten rules about who gets to play.

We decided it didn't have to be that way; so we opened the courts. We brought complete beginners and advanced players onto the same court at the same time, and filled a gap that nobody else was filling. The community that shows up is raw, chaotic, and from every corner of the city - exactly what tennis has been missing. The court doesn't care who you are. Neither do we.

Tobi (tennis pro + coach): “Tennis has always been part of my lifestyle, not just something I do. It teaches you lessons you carry into everyday life. That’s why the link between Fred Perry and Beyond feels natural - respecting tradition but still pushing things forward.”

Désirée: "For me, it’s just the vibe. You pull up, don't overthink, you play, you laugh, you connect. It’s effortless – there is no pressure, just good people and high energy. It feels special and Fred Perry just blends into that whole vibe."

Kenneth: "What stood out to me was that Fred Perry looked beyond just the aesthetic. They really understood what BEYOND stands for the community, the energy, and the impact behind it. That kind of genuine support from a brand is rare."
