welcome

 

Headley Tennis Club is a very friendly club and welcomes members of all standards.  The ethos of the club is to enjoy playing tennis and to have some exercise.  The membership ranges from Juniors (under 16’s)  to ‘mature’ players (over 70’s).
The club has excellent facilities.  These include two well maintained hard courts, which have floodlights for those wishing to play in the evenings.  There is an on-site cabin club-house with a newly fitted kitchen as well as a Sports Pavilion nearby.

The courts are used all year round, regardless of temperature, more clothes are added as the temperature drops.  The only occasions when play is not possible is during heavy rain or snow, although some hardy members have been known to play in these conditions.
Adult  club sessions are Tuesday and Thursday mornings, the first Sunday afternoon of each month there is a ‘Come up and play’ afternoon and it is hoped to start a club evening this spring.  These sessions give the opportunity to meet and play with other members whatever their standard.  Members can also access the courts with a club key and play at any other time when they are not used for matches and club sessions.  Members wishing to play under  floodlights, can register for a clubhouse key in order to activate the light switches.

There are Club League Teams for those who want to play competitive tennis.  There are three teams, Ladies, Mixed and Mens, in the Summer the teams play in the East Hants League, in the Winter in the Aldershot and District League.  During the Summer there is an Adult tennis tournament with the finals in September. There are also American Tournaments run during the year.

Headley Tennis Club is able to offer tennis coaching facilities for club members through their coach, Nick Youl, a long standing club member and a member of the Professional Tennis Registry. Junior coaching sessions are run after school between 4pm and 6pm weekdays and on Saturday mornings. Junior coaching is also to be run over the Half Term and Easter Holidays as well as during the Summer Holidays this year. Individual and Group Coaching for adults is also available. Please contact Nick Youl on 01428 712007 or 07770 744202 for further details.
The Club runs several social events, BBQ’s, an Autumn Skittles evening, a Christmas or New Year Dinner and a New Year’s day tennis session with the help of some hot refreshments.

Adjacent to the courts is a practice wall, which is open to the public at any time as the gate is not locked  - this is popular with children and adults alike.

Subscription rates are set at a very modest level in order to encourage people from all walks of life to give everyone the opportunity of playing tennis.  Headley Parish Council own the courts and continue to share the funding for major maintenance work.
