TENNIS
The University of Warwick Tennis Club is one of the biggest sports clubs on campus, with over 300 members. The club offers something for everyone, catering for all abilities, whether you are a serious team player or a complete beginner, so if you're interested in playing tennis at Warwick, please have a look at our website and come and join in!
Teams
We have 5 teams (3 men's teams and 2 women's teams), all of which have specific weekly training sessions as well as BUCS matches. Our three men's teams are all in strong regional leagues (Midlands 1A, 2A and 3A respectively), as are our two women's teams (Midlands 1A and 2A). Matches take place on Wednesday afternoons, and all of our home matches are played at the indoor tennis centre at Westwood.
Social Play
We offer weekly social play sessions for all members. Every Wednesday afternoon, the whole club is invited down to the Westwood outdoor courts for two hours to play some games, all run by our internal events coordinators, Ricky and Jamie. Last year saw the introduction of our Box League, which is open to all club members and gives everyone the opportunity to play competitive tennis with other players of their own ability. To find about more about the league (including joining information), please have a look here.
Socials
We hold weekly club socials, which we welcome and encourage all members to attend. Socials are a great way to get to know other club members, make great friends and take away lasting memories. For all the latest details of club socials, make sure you follow us on Twitter, and 'like' us on Facebook. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to speak to any of the exec members, details for whom can be found on the exec page of our own website.
The Tennis Centre
To book a court outside of club training or social play times, please call the tennis centre on0247 615 0690 . For private coaching with the tennis centre's coaching team please also call the tennis centre for more information. Matt Thomas is the head coach at the centre and he, along with the rest of the coaching team, will happily take coaching sessions for University students.
We are fortunate to have the use of the state-of-the-art Tennis Centre on the Westwood campus for our training and events. Booking both outdoor and indoor courts requires a small fee (but students recieve a discount from full price bookings). During team and development squad training, the indoor courts are booked by the club. There is no fee for use of the courts during these sessions. Likewise, for social play on a Wednesday afternoon, the club handles the court booking - so just rock up to the outdoor courts and play!
We have great links with the Tennis Centre, and there's a lot we can do on the behalf of club members, from getting courts booked to helping get events sorted. However, if you want to go above and beyond, get in touch with them about booking courts, joining leagues and training opportunities. There is also a fully qualified physio on site for any sports injury requirements. You can find the tennis centre here on Facebook.
