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. The £100,000 re-development project - 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 made 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.

SATURDAY AFTERNOON RUSTY RACKETS (2-3pm) . . .

Following the success of RUSTY RACKETS our Saturday afternoon sessions for developing players have a new look for the summer of 2024.

RUSTY RACKETS is specially for new players or those returning to tennis after a break. Non-members with a TR26 postcode are welcome to join club members for six sessions free of charge to see if they would like to join the club.
Rackets are available to borrow, tennis balls are provided and the only proviso is that players wear appropriate sports shoes. Anyone requiring further information can call or text James Brown on 07932 734950,  Chris Allen on 07747 118811 or Stephen Kempson on 07413 449338.

 . . . AND MEMBERS’ SATURDAY INTERMEDIATE SESSIONS (3-5pm) 

Players joining the club can then progress to the members’ INTERMEDIATE SESSIONS from 3 until 5pm every Saturday if they feel they would like the opportunity to develop their tennis with stepping stone to other club mix-in sessions.  

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)) have resumed for the 2024 summer.

With the aid of a grant from Sport England, our new 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 in the town.
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.
