Social Tennis
Victoria Park holds three weekly social tennis sessions, which take place all year round, weather permitting. These sessions are held on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, from 6pm, and Saturday afternoons at 2pm, the latter followed by tea and cakes. These are doubles sessions open to adult players of all abilities.
We encourage new members to attend these sessions when they first join, and prospective members are welcome to come along to one or two sessions, by prior arrangement with the Membership Secretary. There is no pressure and you will get to play with a variety of players of all ages, abilities and personalities! The emphasis is to mix in and have fun, practise your shots and enjoy your tennis!
For those who wish to build up their confidence before attending, we run a series of adult group coaching sessions on a Sunday morning - ranging from beginner, to improver, to intermediate.
Tennis Coaching
We have an excellent range of Tennis coaching opportunities available for Adults and Juniors (see schedule above), these are run by our Head Coach Jon Rycroft. You can find more detail here: Clubspark / Victoria Park Club / Tennis Coaching

League Tennis
Victoria Park currently fields five men's teams, two ladies' teams and two mixed teams in the Exeter and District Summer Tennis League and East Devon Tennis League. The men currently have three teams in the top two divisions, and a couple of other teams lower down to enable as many as possible to experience league tennis. The women's teams currently compete in divisions 2 & 3.
There is also a Winter League in which members can participate. Check out the links below for the latest fixtures and league tables.
How to get involved?
Team Practice sessions are held on Monday evenings from 6pm for ladies and 7.30pm for men.
