Social tennis

Social tennis is for adults (and older juniors by invitation) and is an opportunity for club members to mix in, rotate and play sociable doubles games with different people. We just ask that players have the tennis basics i.e. ability to rally, serve overarm and score. So please come along and enjoy some friendly games. Please note, the club does not supply balls.

Thursday Evenings

Social tennis is held on Thursday evening from 11 April up to mid-September. 

A booking system operates which works  as follows:

  • Games are available for members over three slots as follows:

                               * 18:00 – 18:45

                               * 18:45 – 19.15

                               * 19:15 – 20:00

  • To participate, you just need to complete the social tennis form before 9 p.m. on Wednesday.               
  • This year we will use WhatsApp (rather than email) to send the form and to notify members of the matches for
    each of the sessions. A new WhatsApp Community group will be set-up for Thursday night Social Tennis – all members that participated last year will be automatically added but may exit the group at any time. If you aren’t already “in” and would like to be added to the WhatsApp Social Tennis Community group, then please email  - tennis@charltonkingstennisplace.co.uk .

  • Members are reminded that it is difficult to rearrange matches once the schedule has been completed. However, choices may be amended any time before 9 p.m. on Wednesday by clicking on the email confirmation link received when registering. And, if for any circumstance a member is unable to attend their allocated session once arranged, they are encouraged to message the WhatsApp Community Group to indicate that their space has become available for any other member to stand in. 
  • Please note that you will need to bring your own balls to social tennis!

Saturday Mornings

Social tennis is also held on Saturday mornings up to the end of October.

We will start the season with an organised social tennis session on 30th March. You just
need to turn up and we will be there to put you into games. After the first week you can just turn up at
the same times and organise yourselves into games on the blue courts. The sessions are:

  • 10:00 – 10:45
  • 10:45 – 11.30
  • 11.30 – 12.15

Winter Tennis

Whilst we do not operate between November and March, a group of CKTP members do play regularly over the winter months on Saturday mornings in Pittville Park. If you would like to come along then please email us at tennis@charltonkingstennisplace.co.uk and we will add you to the relevant WhatsApp group – all are welcome!
