Club Sessions

For many members,  Club Sessions are at the heart of the Club. They are a chance to play some fun tennis (usually doubles) with different people, without the hassle of organising a 4 and they are a great way to meet other members.

Club Sessions take place on Saturday afternoons, Friday mornings and on Wednesday evenings.  
Day time sessions are open to both full and associate members and evening sessions to full members.

Wednesday session - 7pm to 9pm  - please see bookings page for courts allocated each week

Friday  session        -     10am to 12pm  on Courts 3 & 4  

Saturday session   -     2pm to 4pm  on Courts 5,6,7 & 8        (or 1:30 to 3:30pm in winter)
 

Volunteer Led Social groups (VLSGs)

We also have numerous Volunteer Led Social Groups (VLSGs) which are open groups set up by individual members which encourage other members to apply to join. They run throughout the week in the mornings and on weekends and are a another great way to meet other players and to find your level.

For those who enjoy competitive matches, we have a range of Club Competitions throughout the season. We also run an annual club tournament in the summer for singles and doubles. 
 

Teams

We have numerous teams that play in the Cambridgeshire League (click on our Teams page for details) and practice together at team coaching sessions.

All members are welcome to try for the teams but please be aware that competition is fierce at most levels and places are not always available. Successful players are not chosen solely on their ability but also on their availability,  commitment and length of service to the team. Usually players need to make themselves available for team coaching sessions as well as matches.  

Individual games

Of course, all members are welcome to arrange individual games with other members. League ladders are reguallry run through the club. Please ask  Lawrence Rook for details.

You can invite non-members to play with you at a cost of  £5 per hour guest fee. (See Booking for details)
