One of the best things about tennis is how much of a social sport it is.  It allows us to not only get exercise but also meet people and make friends.  The social tennis opportunities at Cleeve Hill include: Club nights/afternoons, family tennis, singles and doubles ladders, and tournaments.

Club nights/afternoons

Once you are a member, please contact us and request to be added to the WhatsApp groups of whichever sessions below interest you.

  A chance for members to come along and enjoy playing doubles.  The bar is open after and offers members special rates.

Singles and doubles ladders

We are now running a singles box league and in the process of creating an internal doubles ladders too. This provides a chance for people to get even more tennis and to meet people if you are new to the club.  If you are interested in joining this, please contact contact us. 

Tournaments

We run a number of in-house tournaments for club members. These include:

• Singles
  These are mixed tournaments divided into a main draw and shield draw depending on ability. The main draw is open to more experienced players, while the shield is aimed at newer or less confident members.
• Doubles
  Every year there are men’s, ladies and mixed doubles tournaments organised.

Alongside the annual club singles and doubles tournaments, we also run regular tournaments of a more relaxed nature that usually involve some form of handicapping or unusual rules to get everyone involved and give all entrants a fair chance.

NOTE: All organised tournaments run on Friday nights, Saturdays or Sundays and take priority, so make sure to sign up and enjoy some fun, competitive tennis.  Communication regarding any tournaments will be published through our communication channels.
