Memberships for this season are now available. Please note that following the agreement at the AGM in February, memberships are now paid in full and monthly options are no longer available. The club's membership fees are the lowest in Ayrshire, and it was felt that a single payment was less work for the admin side as well. Paying by GoCardless also reduces the admin overheads and also makes your membership active automatically and much faster than by using BACS.
Being a member
Being a member will allow you to book courts free of charge and at no extra cost, take part in competitions locally and nationally, and so on.
The club has a Constitution in place, the terms of which apply to all members. It is a large document so we have a much smaller and simplified version that has most of the points you need to know. If you want to read the full Constitution, click here.
Junior Coaching packages
The club also offers junior coaching packages to members who have current family or junior memberships.
Please take out a family or junior membership before applying for a coaching package. The money the club gets for coaching goes to our head coach so the club doesn’t make anything out of these packages. Junior memberships aren’t expensive, but the money the club gets from them is enough to cover the costs of new balls and equipment every year with a small amount left over. Thanks for your understanding about this and for taking out a family or junior membership first.
Which membership package should you choose?
The club offers a variety of annual membership packages which are listed below. You can download a Welcome document that also gives you several QR codes that you may find helpful.
1. LTA sign up: The club is governed by the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) and our website uses their software. This means you need to sign up to the LTA then use your LTA login details to log into Coylton Tennis Club’s website and complete your membership form. The LTA doesn’t send out many emails so you won’t be bombarded with things you don’t want to know about. You can sign up to the LTA here. It is easier if you can do this first, or you can do it when you start the process to buy a membership.
2. CRITICAL NOTE: Please ensure that you enter your postcode in capital letters in your account details when signing up. If you don't, you will encounter an error when trying to purchase your membership.
3. How to decide which membership package to choose
The membership year runs from 1 April to 31 March and which package you need is determined by your year of birth, in line with LTA rules for competition play.
For example, if you are aged 11 to 16 before 31 December in the current year, you qualify for a Junior 16 & Under membership. Similarly, if you are aged 19 or over before 31 December in the current year, you qualify for an Adult (Full) membership because you are not classed as a junior any more. See the LTA Competition Age Group Calculator about the middle of that page if you are unsure.
Taking out a membership package will allow you to play in regional and national competitions.
4. Pick a membership package
Pick the membership package you want (see 3 above), then click on Join Now. You will be asked to sign into the website.
You will now be asked to fill in a form with your name and address, contact details and so on. If you have already joined the LTA, these fields will be populated for you when you sign in at the previous step. Once you have filled in all of the fields, click the button Continue to member details.
Follow the steps (and as described in the GoCardless tab above and the downloadable guide) to complete your membership. The process of paying via GoCardless is straightforward, and there is a dedicated tab that gives a step by step tutorial (above). You can also download the document to follow if you would prefer. Click here to download the GoCardless guide.
5. Payment options
The GoCardless option gives you the choice to pay by Direct Debit. Selecting the GoCardless option for payment means you will be made an active member almost as soon as you finish the application for membership. If you choose the BACS method, there will be a delay in making your membership active of up to a week or more.
