Club Tournament
We usually mark the beginning of the new season with a club tournament. This year, we're marking the beginning of the new season and the inauguration of the new court surfaces. Usual rules (play rounds of four games, keep a running total of games won by your pairs, stop after about a couple of hours, someone is the winner unless we lose track of the scores). This will replace the normal Saturday morning club session for the first week back after the courts are opened (i.e. 10:00 Saturday 17 May), so for many people the main change will be that we have will have sandwiches, quiches, cakes afterwards and then we can watch the men's match in the afternoon. Let Allan know if you're going to bring anything so we don't end up with seven chocolate cakes and nothing else.

About us
|
We are a small but lively tennis club in Buxton. The club
has a proud history, with tennis having been played Buxton since
1853, but we're not just about our heritage, we are an active club
with plenty of tennis played at every level, from beginners to the higher reaches of the
Sheffield leagues. |

The 3 all-weather courts are set in a beautiful location alongside the
cricket ground and bowling green with open views to the south-west,
and are within easy walking distance of Buxton Town Centre. All three
courts are floodlit, thanks to a donation from Tarmac in 2015, so
you can play in the evenings as well as in the day (and we play in
almost all weathers as well -- club sessions take place unless the
courts are actually iced over!).

Interested in joining us? If you already play tennis, why not come along to one of our club sessions. Non-members are welcome to come four times, after which you should join the club -- we offer a reduced membership fee for the first year. Club sessions run on Saturday mornings from 9.30 onwards and on Monday evenings from 6pm (these will continue throughout the year now that we have floodlights!).
If you are interested in learning to play (or improving your ability) we have a range of coaching activities to suit everyone from beginners and people who haven't played for years to advanced junior and adult coaching. See coaching for details.
We offer the chance to take part in competitive tennis in the Sheffield and District leagues, as well as just playing when you feel like it.
The club calendar has full details of the various scheduled sessions--any time that is not booked on this calendar is available for members to book.
