ABOUT THE CLUB
We are LTA affiliated, run by and for our members, providing social and competitive tennis to players of all ages and abilities, with a range of membership packages available.
Whether you are new to the game or looking to improve your tennis, we offer private coaching across the year. If you want to play more competitive tennis there is an annual Club Tournament for Singles, Doubles and Mixed and if you want to play for the Club we have four teams that play in the Brighton & Hove Parks league, offering friendly competitive matches on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday evening from April to August.
We have 4 hard tennis courts and a shared clubhouse (with the Bowls club) that includes a kitchen, changing room and toilet facilities.
Above all, our aim is to provide affordable tennis for all. Our subscription rates are very reasonable, and we provide free balls for club nights, free refreshments and subsidise social events. Potential new members may use the club up to three times before committing themselves.
