We invite new members to join Cocks and Hens tennis.
We pride ourselves on being a very welcoming club and joining us provides a great range of benefits and opens up a whole new group of friends with an interest in tennis.

Inductions
On joining for the full year from  April 2025, new full members receive a 15 minute induction session with one of our coaches or club managers. The induction includes a tour of  the club, with housekeeping information on use of the kitchen, the lights, the alarm system etc....
You wil have a hit together so we can find out your general level of tennis and make suggestions depending on what you want from playing tennis, including helping you find a suitable tennis buddy.

Club Sessions
These are run each week throughout the year and offer a chance to play tennis with different people without the hassle of organising attendance and are a lovely way to meet other members and integrate yourself in the club. Wednesday evenings 7pm to 9pm (most popular with new members), Friday mornings 10am to 12pm and Saturday afternoons 2pm to 4pm (1.30pm to 3.30pm in the winter).

We also have 2  welcome club sessions per year which are particulalrly good for integrating new members .
