Welcome to St Ives Tennis Club
St.Ives Tennis Club
EXCITING TIMES at St Ives Tennis Club with membership booming since the September 2020 arrival of our synthetic clay courts and reaching an all-time high of 213 this summer.
The £100,000 re-development - jointly funded by the club and Sport England's Community Asset Fund - saw us become the first club in Cornwall to introduce artificial clay. To see how the courts project unfolded, click to watch this great video by Tony Mason and we even made BBC Spotlight too!
PAY AND PLAY: Visitors are welcome on a pay-and-play basis from Monday to Friday. Courts can be reserved via the Booking link on this website with a credit or debit card. Weekends are reserved for members and coaching and, sorry, we don't hire out rackets. We have no parking at the club but there may be room on the nearby station car park with a walk-through behind the platform.
NEW HEAD COACH JULIE WILLIAMS of JW Tennis, took over our junior and adult tennis coaching programmes from Saturday September 14. See the COACHING and JUNIOR TENNIS pages for full details.
BOOKING FOR KIDS AND ADULT COACHING is available now on Julie's website www.jwtennis.com
2024 also saw pickleball arrive at St Ives Tennis Club with the upgrading of our short tennis court including lines for the new sporting addition to our facilities.
MEMBERSHIP: St Ives Tennis Club is currently accepting new members with membership free for the 10 and unders.
Tennis, fun, sun and friendship - what more could you ask for? We can't promise the sun but you're guaranteed the other three at the tennis club with the most beautiful outlook anywhere. Well, most people who play here say that!
Located just above Porthminster Beach, our two synthetic clay all-weather courts are used throughout the year. We have social mix-in sessions, when members can just turn up and play, on Tuesday and Friday mornings (10am-1pm), Sundays (10am-12) and Wednesday evenings (5-8pm)) during summer months.
With the aid of a grant from Sport England, our clubhouse was completed in 2013 and we can now welcome players with disabilities. See more on the Membership page.

NEW: DEFIBRILLATOR AT ST IVES TENNIS CLUB - Our new defibrillator – funded by the tennis club – was up and running in October 2023.
Eleven club members attended a training course and we have others familiar with how to use it after undergoing training with other organisations.
The defibrillator, sited on the outside wall of the clubhouse, is also be available to people outside the club in the event of an emergency.
South West Ambulance Service will have the gate code to the courts so they can supply it to anyone needing access in order to collect the defibrillator when they dial 999 in an emergency.
