West Herts & Watford Lawn Tennis Club caters for players of all standards from beginners to advanced players, Juniors, Intermediates, Match Players and Senior Citizens.

FACILITIES
The club has six artificial grass courts and one clay court, all of which are floodlit.  Our greatest asset are the three fantastic grass courts which are the pride of the county and have been used for international and national events. 

There is a licensed bar on site at West Herts Sports Club, selling a selection of beers, lagers, wines and spirits as well as light snacks, all at very reasonable prices. There is also a TV and music facilities in the clubhouse. Changing facilities and toilets are available.

TEAMS
The club fields ladies, mens and mixed teams in the Watford & District Tennis League on weekday evenings, and mens and ladies teams in the Herts County League, in which matches are played at weekends.  There are teams at a range of levels so anyone wishing to play match tennis is almost certain to be selected for some matches.  Make yourself known to the captains and take it from there!  We also field teams in the Herts age-group competitions, Mens and Ladies O45s and O55s.  

TOURNAMENTS AND COMPETITIONS

The Club runs an annual tournament for full senior members and invited juniors - this usually runs over a 2-3 week period in the summer or early autumn.  

Between October and March, the Club runs a winter singles league for all members, giving members the opportunity to play friendly yet competitive matches against players of comparable standard.  Typically this involes four matches per month, providing the opportunity to get on court at a time when there are fewer club matches.
