Teams

For those looking for competitive Tennis there are many teams:- mens, ladies, mixed, veterans and juniors.  The Club enters the Bucks Shield, Aylesbury & District League and National Club League.  Contact team captains, names and numbers are on the noticeboard.

Dress

It is important to wear non-marking tennis shoes, as trainers have deep grips, which damage the court surfaces.  Also trainers do not give adequate support and are therefore unsafe for tennis.  Please wear tennis gear (not football- or beachwear!).

Court Time

This is a thriving Club so the courts can be in great demand at peak times.  We do our best to balance the needs of social, team, and junior players.  We ask members to be patient at these times.  Off peak, there are often many courts available.  More detailed information about court allocation will be issued when joining.
