Cross In Hand Tennis Club

Cross in Hand Tennis Club is located in the heart of East Sussex..

...and is one of the leading tennis venues in the area.   The club offers first-class facilities which include five clay courts, three of which were resurfaced with Lano Grand in July 2020. The clay courts allow tennis to be played year-round and new LED floodlights extend the playing time on winter evenings. There is also a singles hard court which is marked up for Pickleball.

We welcome players across the age and ability range, from county standard to beginners.  There are sessions available to suit everyone, including coaching from Nick Andrews and the excellent Elevate Tennis Coaching team.  There are also several  men’s, ladies’, and mixed teams competing against other clubs throughout the year in Sussex, Wealden and Horam leagues.  

Members' activities include social club sessions (Mon and Wed mornings, Tues and Fri evenings and Sun afternoons), men's and ladies' match practice sessions (Wed and Thurs evenings) internal doubles ladders and annual club tournaments.  All the social club sessions are included in your membership subscription which includes balls and floodlight use for those sessions.  Adult group coached sessions include Cardio tennis on Saturdays and "Drills and Skills" on Fri mornings (extra cost, open to members and non members). Junior coaching takes place on Saturday mornings. 

Courts can be booked by members via the website for free up to 2 weeks in advance.  Pay and play is available to non members during daylight hours and can be booked via the Bookings page of this website.

Regular social activities take place in the clubhouse which is equipped with a bar, changing rooms and a shower room, as well as a ping pong table and a darts board.
