Exciting News for Ross Tennis Centre!

Ross Tennis Centre (RTC) is thrilled to announce that the centre has received £4,956 from the UK government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.

This funding will allow the Centre to offer even more opportunities for people in our community to pick up a paddle (racquet) get active and have fun!

As part of the initiative, there will be two open sessions on the 7th of December (10:00 -12:00 and 13:00 -15:00), and two brand-new beginner pickleball courses will be launched in the New Year, both delivered by qualified LTA coaches. One course will run during the day and another in the evening, ensuring everyone has a chance to get involved, whatever their schedule. The sessions will be free to attend and designed for complete beginners looking to learn the game in a welcoming, social atmosphere. Please click here for more information.

Introduction

Ross Tennis Centre (RTC), which is a Community Interest Company, (not for profit), was established in 1987 to offer great tennis facilities for the residents and visitors of Ross-on-Wye and the surrounding area. It is a thriving place, with many members and non-members of all ages playing regularly. RTC is a fully registered member of the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) which recognises good standards and best practice at tennis venues in Britain. RTC is a member of the Herefordshire & Worcestershire LTA (H&WLTA) and has five teams competing in the H&WLTA leagues.

The facilities include four floodlit tarmacadam tennis courts, which are available all year round from 8.00am to 10.00pm. The Pavilion has a wheelchair access toilet, shower/changing and tea/coffee making facilities which can be accessed by members.
