Baschurch Tennis Club

We are a family-friendly club in the north Shropshire village of Baschurch, around 8 miles north west of Shrewsbury.  We are open to players of all ages and abilities, and welcome enquiries from prospective new members. 
Based at Church Lane in Baschurch, we have two floodlit hard-surfaced courts, plus a clubhouse.  Courts have recently been repainted. The surrounding area has been designed to facilitate wheelchair access. For the competitive player, we enter Men's and Ladies' teams in the Shropshire Inter-Club Doubles Summer League, and also have three mixed teams that take part in the Winter league. There is no obligation however to play matches, and many members are happy to play their tennis at a social level with friends and family. 
We are fortunate to benefit from the services of our head coach Sarah Hardie,  and offer tennis lessons to those aged 3 and  over. We run LTA youth coaching, LTA team challenge. For the children, our aim is to provide a fun and safe environment in which they can learn skills and tactics and develop a real love of the game before eventually progressing to tennis "proper".  We also run occasional social events that are always well supported.

Baschurch Tennis Club is committed to prioritising the well-being of all children and adults at risk, promoting safeguarding in our club at all times, including all programmes and events we run. This Policy strives to minimise risk, deliver a positive tennis experience for everyone and respond appropriately to all safeguarding concerns/disclosures. 

Our club Welfare Officer is DJ Humphreys, assisted by Dawn Lake

We are proud to have a Diversity and Inclusion Policy that demonstrates our commitment to making tennis diverse and inclusive. The commitment to Diversity and Inclusion is upheld by all - Lawn Tennis Association (LTA), Tennis Scotland, Tennis Wales and the Tennis Foundation. These commitments are fully supported by the Baschurch Tennis Club Committee.
