If you are unsure what level of play you are or just want to get back into the swing of things then we would suggest an individual or small group session with one of the coaches and they can then point you in the right direction.
Court Etiquette - Tennis
If a court is being played on please do not cross it until a change in server. Gates should be closed after entering.
If a court is in use outside of the mix-in sessions please wait until invited to join in, it may be that it is a pre-arranged match and not part of the mix-in session.
Please ensure you clean your shoes after playing on the clay courts. In particular before entering the clubhouse.
Courts 1,2 & 3 should be matted and lines rolled following every session.
Teams
We have a range of teams, both adult and junior, in the South Wales leagues. Everyone is welcome to put their names forward for selection.
In the summer, men’s and ladies’ doubles teams compete in the South Wales National league.
Competition doesn’t stop in the winter. Along with the men’s and women’s doubles teams who play in the Cymru Kitchens league, we have a number of Vets teams too

Tennis light cards can be bought from the bar at a cost of £3.75 per 45 minutes.
Wimbledon Tickets
All club members are entitled to join the LTA (Lawn Tennis Association) for free via their website. You can then opt-in to the club Wimbledon ballot which is open between September and February. Each club is allocated tickets depending on how many members they have. Once the opt-in period closes clubs can then choose to run a manual or automatic ballot which needs to be completed by 15th May, at which stage all tickets must have been allocated and paid for (directly to the LTA). Tickets must be used by the member who has been allocated them and their guest, they cannot be sold or used as prizes etc
