Safeguarding and club policies

South Hampstead Tennis Club follows Lawn Tennis Association safeguarding standards. The club has a nominated Welfare Officer and is committed to providing a safe, inclusive environment for all members, on and off the court.

Members are asked to familiarise themselves with the club's policies, including our Code of Conduct, Safeguarding Policy, and Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Policy. These are available on the website and in the clubhouse.

Access and general conduct

Full members are provided with gate access to the club. No physical keys are required.

Appropriate sportswear must be worn at all times. To protect the court surface, tennis-specific shoes must be worn on court.

Social tennis and fair play

Social tennis sessions run regularly throughout the week and at weekends. All full members are welcome to take part.

During social play, doubles takes priority when courts are busy, players rotate after completing a set, and members waiting to play are given fair access to courts.

Court booking

Courts are booked online via ClubSpark Booker app. Bookings are made in 90-minute slots, with some courts reserved for coaching at certain times. Court availability is shown clearly in the booking system.

Floodlighting is included for members.

Guests

Members may invite guests to play on a limited number of occasions each year, subject to a guest fee payable at the bar when open. Guest use is intended to introduce new players to the club rather than regular play.

The club enters teams in local and national competitions, including Middlesex leagues, across adult and junior categories.
