"There's no right way, there's no wrong way, there's just my way." Ash Barty (3 time Grand Slam Winner)

Tennis is a fantastic social sport, and one which provides a great full-body workout, so whether you're playing for fun or for fitness, you're likely to find plenty of benefits in tennis.

A 2018 study (the Copenhagen City Heart Study) found that of all sports, those who played tennis regularly were likely to have the longest life expectancy - 9.7 years longer on average than otherwise expected!

So whether you’re a complete beginner, a rusty racket holder, or a regular player looking to meet others who love the game, come and visit our open day which has something for everyone and our club has members of all ages and abilities.

Bring your family, your friends, or join us to meet new people, and experience what makes our club a great place to play, learn, get fit and make friends.

What to Expect:
✅ Free Coaching Sessions – Qualified coaches will run free mini clinics for kids and adults of all levels.
✅ Family-Friendly Activities – Games and challenges to keep everyone busy and having fun.
✅ Meet Our Members – Friendly faces will be on hand to show you around and answer your questions.
✅ Fresh Food & Bar – Tasty food & drinks from the Bar will be available to purchase.

Admission: FREE! No need to book in advance.

No equipment? No problem - Tennis courts, rackets and balls will be provided, just wear comfortable clothes and trainers. Arthur Ashe (3 time Grand Slam winner) said ‘Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can’

We are incredibly proud to share that our Head Coach, Martyn Whait, has been recognised with the highest possible honor for his work in wheelchair tennis - the International Tennis Federation's Brad Parks award.

Martyn has not only fostered a culture of inclusivity in tennis locally, but also driven the sport of wheelchair tennis forward internationally with both his performance coaching, tactical, and analytical work, and also by travelling the world to educate coaches and provide them with the confidence and skills to work with wheelchair tennis players themselves.

Congratulations Martyn, this recognition is well deserved, and hard earned!

An incredibly close week of matches for our teams last week!

8 matches finished either 5-4 or 6-3, and we finished on the right side of 6 of them - credit to everyone for competing so hard in some testing weather conditions at times!

We head into the closing weeks of the season now, with 7 teams locked in title/promotion battles. Good luck everyone!

We know it's not tennis, but we also know that you all love a bit of friendly competition...well, the LLTC 2026 World Cup Sweepstake is here!

You can buy your tickets here: https://tinyurl.com/LLTCWC26 and find the T&Cs below and here: https://tinyurl.com/LLTCWC26TCS

Good luck!

Entries cost £10 and there are 4 prize levels:

Winner = £80
Runner-Up = £50
3rd = £40
4th = £30

The prize pot equates to just over 40% of the funds received. The remainder of the funds will help us to invest in the club's facilities.

There are 48 Teams/tickets available and each player can purchase a maximum of 2 tickets.

Ticket sales end at 7pm on Wednesday 10th June 2026.

If enough entries are made, then the draw will take place at 8:30pm on Wednesday 10th June 2026.

All players must be 18 or over and based in GB

Any unsold tickets will be left as blank entries in the draw, which means a blank entry could win a prize. If this is the case, that prize will be retained by the club.

There must be a minimum of 36 tickets sold for the draw to go ahead - if there are fewer than 36 entries, the draw will be cancelled and refunds issued.

Doubles doesn't get the same attention in the press as the singles does, but it's been amazing to see the British doubles players performing so consistently in Grand Slams over the past few years.

Henry Patten (and partner Harri Heliovaara)'s form has been incredible over the past couple of seasons!

FINALISTS IN FRANCE!!! 🙌

Henry Patten & Harri Heliovaara are through to the ROLAND-GARROS final for the very first time, beating Herbert & Halys 6-3, 6-4
