Tennis Club History

The Tennis Club was founded in 1974 where two courts had been constructed in a triangular area of land, over the far side of the cricket pitch away from Abbots Road and we have been going strong ever since.  

Hanham Tennis Club is a small and very friendly club which is keen to encourage new members to the benefits of playing tennis and making new friends - whether it is for social or more serious league tennis.  

The  club is part of the Hanham Community Centre but located a mile away at the sports ground in Abbot's Road, where there is plenty of off-road parking. 

We share changing rooms and showering facilities with the Cricket Club which also has a bar at very reasonable prices. 

We have two floodlit (new LED lights and power system in 2022) all weather tennis courts which have recently been fully re-painted in 2022 (£14,500).  We also had brand new fencing installed 2016  (£11,000)

So why not come and meet us on a Adults Club evening Tuesday's and Thursday's 7.00pm - 10.00pm or on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon 2pm - 5pm (check which day first as this can vary).   We also have an Adults morning Club sessions 9:30am to 12 noon  -  Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings. See here for all court times

We also have adult coaching early evenings on a Wednesday 7-8pm (for beginners).

For Junior's we run Squad sessions after school Monday to Friday afternoons - and a drop in session Saturday mornings.   See  "Whats New" for details.

Please call one of the numbers shown in "Contacts" for further details - or Coaches Neil Britton or Danny Green (both fully DBS checked and LTA Level 3 registered) for all coaching enquiries.

We have a Welfare Officer Giles Kirkham (fully DBS checked) and is the first point of contact for concerned children and vulnerable adults who are playing at the our club - our Policy and Giles's contact details can be found "here"

When you join us you are automatically a member of the Hanham Community Centre as well which allows you to partake in their social club, events and hire out rooms along with many other benefits.

If you are new to tennis, or a little rusty, Neil Britton is our fully LTA qualified tennis coach available for either group or individual coaching to get you up to speed - see "Whats new" for details.
