Social & competitive tennis opportunities

Tennis Induction

If you are new member to our club, then why not take advantage of your complimentary 30 minute tennis induction with our Head Coach. This is the perfect way to be introduced to tennis at the club, and Kyle will be able to point you in the direction of the best opportunities for you within the club.

Social Tennis

We have a number of opportunities for players of all ages who enjoy playing some social, friendly, regular doubles. Wednesday 20:00-22:00 (winter) and 18:30-20:30 (summer) is our ever-popular weekly mix in, and is available to any adult rackets member at the club. Can’t make it during the week? We also have two socials every weekend. Social Saturdays 16:00-18:00 and Social Sundays 14:00-16:00.

Tuesday 13:30-16:00 and Friday 14:00-16:00 sees our vibrant veterans take to the courts for some doubles, often followed up with a drink and a chat in our serve café bar! This is open to anyone aged 45+! 

Mondays 13:00-15:00 and Saturdays 14:00-16:00 we have some organised match practice, with some input from one of our experienced coaching team. All of these sessions can be booked via your club solutions account or by calling reception.

Meet new friends

If you are lady looking to meet some new friends and have a regular match-up organised for you, then look no further than our Ladies Member rotas, which run every weekday morning.

Winter Matchplay Tennis

During the winter season, we have our fantastic Matchplay events on Mondays and Wednesday (Ladies) and Tuesdays and Thursdays (Mens) from 11:30-13:30.

Each session 8 players split into 4 doubles pairs, and each play all the others in a competitive but friendly environment, before decamping to the serve café bar for a hot lunch, drink and a chat!

These sessions are ideal for those who are comfortable playing matches, but without winning being the be all and end all. For info about joining the Matchplay sessions, please contact Gavin.

Many of our members play regularly at scheduled times throughout the week and are very welcoming to new players joining their games. Kyle (Head Coach) or Gavin (Head of Rackets & Development) will happily put you in touch with these groups.

Competitive Tennis

If some competitive Matchplay is what you love, then look no further than our thriving box leagues, which are a great way to get your organised competitive fix, alongside meeting fellow members. Our box leagues are ran by Esmaeil. Esmaeil will get you started at the next run of leagues, which is usually every six weeks

Men’s, Ladies' and Mixed teams

We have a number of men’s, ladies and mixed teams which compete in  leagues both locally and county wide throughout the whole year! These teams also have practices throughout the year. Team captains are always very happy to welcome new recruits into the fold. Contact Tom or Kyle if you interested in joining a team!
