Social Tennis & Tournaments

Sometimes the hardest thing in tennis is to find someone to play with!

We have a private WhatsApp group to help find players - please email Prudence Mackee on prudence@imackee.co.uk. to ask to be added to the group (By requesting this you agree for your mobile number to be shared within the group).

We also have a private Facebook group "Durham Archery Tennis Club"

We have a "mix in" policy here at DALTC which means that on Wednesday & Thursday evenings (from about 6.00 pm) and on Saturday & Sunday afternoons (from about 2.00 pm) you will always get a game (See the Social Tennis timetable above).

Monday (Men’s Priority Night) and Tuesday (Ladies' Priority Night) are also evenings when all those who attend are asked to mix in, so again you will be assured of a game if you turn up.

While social playing members are required to give way to match play, with 6 floodlit astro courts and 3 grass courts, you’ll rarely not find a court available for social tennis.

Please adhere to the club etiquette and guidelines if attending the courts to play.
