About the teams and competition
Each of our teams consists of at least six players (three doubles pairs), allowing us to compete in exciting doubles matches throughout the season.
We’re always looking for more team players, as we regularly rotate lineups and understand that not everyone can commit weekly due to work or personal schedules.
The competitive season runs from April through late August, making the most of the warmer weather and longer daylight hours—perfect conditions for great tennis and memorable match days.

Grass courts may be closed at the discretion of the groundsman if deemed unfit due to weather conditions. Any courts not allocated for match play will remain available for general use.
