NB There are currently some issues with the new gate:

The code will open it OK, but once in the court, we suggest wedging the gate open as on occasion it shuts and is very hard to open from the inside. The installer is due to fix the problem ASAP

Introduction

We are a friendly, welcoming and affordable club set in the heart of this beautiful village on the Wirral Peninsular. We welcome new members of all ages and abilities, from absolute beginners, to more experienced players.

The club has two all-weather courts and is situated within the Johnston Recreation Grounds near Willaston Primary School. Membership is great value with, for example, Family Membership (for up to two adults and two children) being only £120 per year. Please see the Membership page for full details of all types of membership.

The emphasis of the club is on social tennis but we also run a slightly more competitive 'Winter League' for adult members. Our social programme includes Family Fun days, organised outings to local tournaments and a Christmas dinner. Our current organised playing opportunities include:

Tuesday Morning (at 10am for about an hour). Informal and very mixed group - WhatsApp group admin: Gwenda, email 163edge@gmail.com
Winter League, Sunday (at 9am with matches usually finishing well before 11am). Competitive, but having fun is paramount. League runs between October and April but informal tennis continues through the summer - League coordinator: Jonathan, email jonathan.foulkes@ntlworld.com
Walking Tennis, Thursday (at 10am for about an hour). A gentler game with special rules and balls. Very suitable for those wishing to continue or return to playing tennis, e.g. after injury. However some participants also play the ‘normal’ game but enjoy the new dimensions that walking tennis adds. For more information on Walking Tennis, see https://walkingtennis.org - WhatsApp group administrator: Gill, email gillbode55@gmail.com
Tennis Group, generally weekday evenings while daylight permits. Puts players of all abilities and interests in touch with one another to allow games to be arranged as convenient - WhatsApp group administrator: Will, email william_djs@hotmail.com

We enjoy the services of a highly experienced LTA-qualified coach, Dan Stickland, who runs our extensive programme of coaching for all levels. Our initial coaching programme at the start of each season is free to members. Please see the Coaching page for more details.

In 2019, we celebrated the 25th anniversary of the re-opening of the village tennis courts after these were abandoned to nature decades before. As part of our celebrations, we became affiliated to the LTA as a Registered Venue with all the benefits that gives our members,.
