Welcome to Southbourne Tennis Club – Bringing Tennis To The Community
Our Club successfully provides social and competitive tennis for all ages and abilities. We are a well-established and progressive club in Bournemouth with over 450 Adult , Junior and Mini Tennis members. We are winners of Dorset LTA Club of the year, have a very friendly and vibrant atmosphere , and have amongst our members some of the best players in Dorset.
New Players are always welcome! If you’re new to tennis you are welcome to come and try our Wednesday night session which runs from 6-8PM. This is a mixed ability session of green to intermediate players. It’s a very relaxed session where the aim is to have competition but a lot of fun at the same time. Everyone is encouraged and supported. Oh, you also, have a Monday session 10AM to 12PM and a coaching session on Wednesday evening 7.15MP to 8.15PM. This is a great way to get to know the coaches and be introduced to the amazing game of tennis!
Been playing a few years? But not team standard? Club sessions are Tues, Fri (9AM to 11AM) and Sun mornings (10AM to 12PM). We also have adult coaching Monday and for red players we have Thursday session 6-8pm.
