We run a regular coaching programme for both children and adults through term times and run special tennis camps for children on selected days (or weeks) through the school holidays.

 This is a popular informal occasion for Club members to meet socially, and follows the usual team practice sessions which start at 6 pm. A good opportunity for new members to meet other members.

Matches start in the last week of April, so members who would like to play league tennis are invited to Friday practices, starting in earnest on Friday 16th April. Drinks and nibbles will be available in the clubhouse on that evening to help ease players in!

We have six teams in the Peterborough League and nine in the Hunts & Peterborough League which starts a few weeks later, so there are match opportunities for a wide ability range. If you are new to the Club and want to be considered for one of the teams, just come along on Fridays. The sessions start about 6 pm.

Here’s our initial Calendar of Events for 2010.

More events will be added as and when the relevant organisers confirm the dates, these include more American Tournaments on a Sunday morning, Golf Day and cricket match versus Barnack.

The Club’s new Ladies Captain Emily John-Davis had to save a match point in the second set before winning a tightly fought match against Kimberly Pallister 5-7, 7-6, 6-2.

The Club’s Men’s Singles Tableau 2 final was won by Shay Ginat who dominated his match against John Dalkiran and won 6-2, 6-2.  The men’s doubles was a repeat of the last two years and Nick Crowson and Martin Trawford re-instated themselves as Club Champions by defeating Marc Sumner and Mark Pallister by 6-4, 7-6. 

The Ladies Doubles was won by Penny Cooper and Kimberly Pallister who defeated Emily John-Davis and Lucy Watts 6-4, 6-2.  Alex Smith led the way for the Juniors, winning the Boys under 18 singles against William Bourne.
