Parent Membership

For the safety of our young players, and to safeguard our premises, children age under 13 years must be accompanied by an adult member on the courts and in the Tennis Hut.
Supervising adults who do not wish to take out a full adult membership can be a 'Parent Member' - this allows one named adult per court to knock-about with their children. The Parent Member rather than the child will be issued with the Tennis Hut swipecard. Please note parent membership is not equivalent to full adult membership and only allows the parent member to supervise/play alongside their child/children. 'Parent members' may not attend the courts without the child member: the child must also be a mini or junior member of Hingham Tennis.  If parents wish to join adult coach sessions or take private lessons a guest fee is payable (please consider and adult or  family membership package in this case).
