Social Tennis

Social tennis sessions are designed for all players who have at least a basic mastery of tennis skills and these take place on:

  • Monday and Friday mornings - 10.00 a.m. until 12.00 p.m.
  • Monday and Friday evenings - 7.00 p.m. until 9:30 p.m. 
  • Wednesday Mornings - 10.00 a.m. until 12.00 p.m.
  • Thursday Mornings (Veteran Social) - 10.00 a.m. until 12.00 p.m. 
  • They are free of charge to members and are organised on a "turn up and play basis". The exception are Monday, Wednesday & Friday mornings which are led by coach Sam Bass. The concept is the same as social tennis, with added coaching tips. These social tennis sessions are for players of a wide range of abilities. On any given morning or evening you will be able to join in a series of doubles games. You are able to come and go as you please so you can play for the whole of the session or just a short time. Tennis balls are provided

    The atmosphere is definitely relaxed and welcoming and there is certainly no need to be shy! Our social tennis mornings and evenings are an excellent way to get to know other members of the Club. Refreshments in the clubhouse are also an important part of these regular occasions
