Using the courts
Courts are only available to members – adults and juniors – on our online booking system.

Practice wall
We have a practice wall where you can practice your strokes. Members can also rent a ball machine to work on specific areas of your technique by adjusting the ball delivery.

There are annual summer championships and leagues that run throughout the year. The club teams compete in the Kent, North Kent, and National Club Leagues. Informal tennis events are provided, including the American Doubles Tournament.
