Christchurch Tennis Club

A thriving community tennis club in Christchurch operates across two venues, providing opportunities for players of varying skill levels. The primary site at East Christchurch Sports and Social Club on Grange Road features two floodlit macadam courts, suitable for play in diverse weather conditions. A secondary venue on Barrack Road complements the facilities, supporting the club’s broad programme.

Coaching forms a core element, with group sessions available six days a week for juniors progressing through staged development from early ages to teenagers, alongside adult classes.

Individual lessons are offered by qualified coaches, catering to beginners and experienced players alike. The emphasis lies on building technique, tactics, and confidence through structured drills and match play.

Competitive options include entry into Dorset leagues for doubles and team tennis, covering adult and junior categories. Internal box leagues and club tournaments encourage regular participation, while mix-in sessions foster social interaction among members.

Membership grants access to discounted coaching, free court bookings at specified sites, eligibility for team selection, and partnerships with local businesses for equipment and wellbeing services. The club engages over 300 players weekly, reflecting its role in promoting tennis accessibility.
