Interested in Joining a Tennis Team?
How to Get Involved
We always welcome new blood in to our teams. Captains are often on the lookout to bolster their squads with players who commit to playing home and away matches. We recommend you make yourself known to the Team captains by challenging them to a game by organising a four? This is a great way to find the right level team for you and to mix in with the players. Please be patient as we have large squads currently. Captains’ details and player names in each team can be found on the Tennis noticeboard in the squash corridor.
We have 19 Teams in total, with most being Main teams who play at 7pm on weekday evenings and Vets teams who play at 10am on weekdays. There are occasional matches on Saturday mornings. The qualifying ages for Vets are O50 for Men and O45 for ladies.
Matches involve two rubbers per pair, totalling four sets plus possibly deciding tie-breaks if the scores are tied at 1-1. There are teas after the match so a typical match will last for around 3 hours. Match fees are collected by the captains to cover the cost of the food and balls provided. Players who commit to our club teams are often invited to attend group coaching sessions and practice sessions with other teams. Players are invited to practices via WhatsApp group polls and you will be expected to support attend these when you can.
For more information on these sessions and to be introduced to captains please contact Steve Adams at [email protected]
