Introduction
Hello and welcome to Hill Lane Tennis Club!
We are a friendly community based club in Plymouth, that operates across two sites within 200 meters of each other. Our Hill Lane site is dedicated to our juniors and then Lockington Avenue courts for the adults.
We welcome all ages and abilities, from beginners to competitive players. There are regular group coaching sessions for children and adults at a very minimal charge. But you don't have to be a budding Rafa or Serena, you may just want to have fun playing tennis in the fresh air with a friendly bunch of people. Let's face it, compared with some gym membership charges, our club gives you all year round access to courts and you can keep fit for less than the cost of a cup of cappuccino per week. Membership fees are great value and we even offer a discount for some membership categories..
The club has various Club Sessions per week (see the Events and News header tab), where you just turn up and play with others, it's a great way to meet people. Once registered with our club you can have court access any time and we have an easy online booking system to book your court. Don't forget all court time is free once you have joined us!
The club has floodlights which can be used up to 10pm. Both sites have a clubhouse with kitchen, toilet and changing facilities and there is easy street parking available.
Several times during the year we have social events, usually mixed in with a bit of social tennis. These include quizzes, barbecues and other themed food events. So far this year we've had well attended Spanish, BBQ and Curry events, and Alan's famous egg and bacon rolls after weekend team practice are legendary!
So why not give us a try? You can even come and have a couple of free sessions to see if you like us first before committing. Just contact the Membership Secretary, details on the 'Membership' tab.
The club is run by a committee of volunteers with the help of club members and parents. If you would like to be involved with the organisation of the club please email the Hill Lane email address on the next tab.
The club is stacked in history, the 1931 first round Davis Cup match, the only one ever played in Plymouth, between GB and Monaco and played at our Lockington site (then Carhullen). GB winning 5v0 with Fred Perry making his GB debut.
