Chelmsfordians Tennis Club

Chelmsfordians is a friendly Tennis Club where all are welcome regardless of age or playing standard. 

Chelmsfordians Tennis Club (CTC) is the tennis section of the Old Chelmsfordians Association (OCA) based at Lawford Lane on the west side of Chelmsford, The tennis section consists of three floodlit all-weather tennis courts with a separate pavilion within the court boundaries which adjoins the large sports field with a cricket square and two football pitches.

Through membership of the tennis section, adult members also become members of the Old Chelmsfordians Association. This means that Tennis Club members can use the facilities of the main club house including a licensed bar. Members may also hire the club house for private functions.

We are an LTA Registered Venue and have all appropriate safeguarding procedures in place. If you have any Safeguarding concerns, please email our Welfare Officer, Pam Page - safeguarding@chelmsfordianstennis.co.uk and for any further information please click the Safeguarding tab.

Social tennis is encouraged through several different groups, depending on interest and availability. We have Club Night every Tuesday evening, Ladies morning on 1st Sunday of month, social doubles on 3rd Sunday of month, an active Singles ladder, a regular Thursday morning (in term time) slot for doubles and a Whatsapp group set up so that people can arrange a four at a time to suit them.  Potential members are welcome to visit our facilities and join in at a club night before deciding to join.

Junior members are most welcome and we have a busy schedule of coaching to support their development as well as several different age group teams competing in local summer leagues.
