Social Tennis
The club holds occasional one-off social events (tournaments, nights out...) throughout the year, and notice of these is given on the home page.
Adult social tennis sessions
When you are a newcomer to the club, these sessions are the best opportunity to meet some other players and have a friendly game of doubles. There is no level requirement, everyone is welcome.
- Tuesday evenings 5.30pm to 7.30pm (April-September)
- Wednesdays 6pm - 7.30pm: Ladies only (April-September)
- Thursday evenings 7.30pm to dark (April-September)
- Saturday afternoons 2pm to 4pm (all year)
- Sunday mornings 11am to 1pm (all year)
- Thursday morning 10am to 12pm: New Walking tennis
These casual and friendly sessions are a good way to meet other members and play some relaxed social tennis. The club system, to avoid long waits, is to play five games - sudden death deuce, except for long deuce in the fifth game.
Ladies only social session
- Wednesdays 6pm - 7.30pm (all year)
This new, friendly group for women is proving very popular. If you are interested, do join the WhatsApp group using this link.
Sunday morning competitive adult doubles
If you are ready to take it to the next level - and don't want a lie-in! - you may be interested in playing a full, competitive doubles match.
- Sunday mornings 9am to 11am (max. 8 players)
The aim is to complete a 3-set match, or as much of one as you can in 2 hours.
This is the only session other than team matches and team practice where there is a minimum standard. You should be around an International Tennis Number 6 or better see ITN system or a number 4.0 on our GSTC grading scale when playing doubles.
If you would like to be added to the pool of players, please contact grevillesmythtennis[AT]gmail[DOT]com.
Junior sessions
- Mondays 4pm to 5pm
Please note if any of these sessions are not being used, or are only used on one court, the other court is still free to use, though priority remains for the specific sessions.
Walking tennis
- Thursdays 10am to 12pm
Walking tennis is great for anyone who needs a little more time getting to the ball, which can bounce up to twice. It's lower impact than tennis and good for all abilities.
The walking tennis social sessions are free and open to members and non-members.
