Play Tennis
Everyone who plays tennis knows that you always want to play a little bit more, get a little bit better and have a little bit more fun. No matter what your playing standard!
Thankfully, we have several ways to maximise your court time here at GLTC: Club Sessions, Coached Sessions, Coaching, Teams and General Play. We have put together a quick guide to each for you below.
For new members looking to get involved, our Committee has put together a Player Development Pathway, so every member of ours has a guide to how they can improve and what is available to them.
Club Sessions
All members are encouraged to join in our regular club sessions, some of which operate on a ‘turn up and play’ basis, for others, sign up is required through our club Whatsapp group. These are open to all of our members to come and enjoy. If you are unsure of your level, the 'What Level am I' tab above will help you find the right sessions for you.

If this sound like something you would be interested in, we would love to know! Please get in touch through our CONTACT page.
Our Captains Are:
Women: Emma Stevens

General Play
Our courts are free for members to use all year round, including floodlights. If you are new, then our club sessions are a great way to meet our friendly members, where you'll find a community eager for new hitting partners and friends.
Once you have signed up, court availability can be found through our BOOKING page, where you can also make your court reservations.
All of our members are also encouraged to use the 6 Guest Passes that are included in their membership every year
