Adult social tennis
We run weekly member social tennis sessions for adult members age 16+ to come and play organised games of singles or doubles. Sessions are either organised by members or coach led. The member led sessions require no advance booking, just turn up and play; the coach led sessions have limited numbers and are bookable at reception.
Sessions run outdoors in the summer when the weather is fair, and indoors in the winter. Outdoor sessions are free; indoor sessions have a small charge payable on the day.
