Social Tennis at HLTC

Our weekly Social Mix-Ins are open to adult (joint, single, student, trial) and junior (senior status) members; there's no need to book in advance, just turn up and play! All levels are welcome:
Wednesdays 6 - 8pm**
Thursdays 2 - 4pm
Saturdays 2 - 5pm
Organised Saturday Social Mix-In dates for 2025:
26 April, 31 May, 26 July, 30 August, 27 September, 29 November
During the summer months (May - September, Saturdays only) members also enjoy tea and cakes, for just £2, including refills.
If you are a new member going to a mix-in for the first time, let our Membership Secretary know and they, or another member of the club, can meet you there to introduce you to the other players and explain how mix-in works.
To order a Name Peg, email membership@hythetennis.com. 'Guest Pegs' are available for trial members and guests to use.
The idea behind mix-in is to promote friendly social tennis and allow members to play with lots of different people in a session. It's a great introduction to the club for new members and a fun way to spend an afternoon or evening. Social mix-in sessions are inclusive and should be gender blind.
Have in mind that a balanced four may be three men and a woman, three women and a man, or two women versus two men rather than the traditional categories of men's, women's, mixed.
We would ask that all players attending mix-in treat each other with respect and that the simple rules in place are followed by all players. If you are not willing to play with people of different gender and ability, then mix-in is not the session for you.
Monthly Socials and Club Supper Night
On the last Wednesday of the month (except December) the Social Mix-In/Fun Tournament is followed by our Club Supper Night where volunteer chefs provide a 2-course meal for just £7 per person (booking for supper is required).
**Organised Quarterly Fun Tournaments, 6-8pm, for doubles players of all levels. Booking in advance is required as the tournaments are restricted to 32 players and pairs are organised:
Wednesday 26 March – Fun Spring Tournament
Wednesday 25 June – Fun Summer Tournament
Wednesday 29 October – Fun Halloween Tournament (fancy dress optional)
Wednesday 17 December – Fun Christmas Tournament (Christmas jumper optional)
During the summer months the hard courts (1 - 4) may feel a little "sticky" and the risk of tripping increases - please wear flat soled (all-court) tennis shoes on all courts
