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.
Finally, juniors over 10’s can come and trial club sessions Sat 10-11.25am and Mon 6-7.25pm.

Our busy week continued with us hosting one of four 8U Team Tennis Regional Festivals this afternoon. We welcomed teams from Christchurch, St Leonards & St Ives and Wimborne to the club for a round robin contest with each 'match' comprising 8 rubbers... so that's a lot of match tiebreaks! Well done to all the teams including home team Southbourne who came 3rd behind Wimborne 1 & 2 teams. A big thank you to Matt and the scorers for helping it run smoothly and to Sarah for serving hot drinks and snacks.
Thank you to our fab ‘maintenancers’ who joined us for fence painting this morning.
As ever, your time and help is much appreciated 😊
Delighted to note that the fence is looking very smart

Sportability Tennis Day at Southbourne Tennis Club | Lisa Chapman
As some of you know I love to play wheelchair tennis to keep myself fit and get fresh air. Well there's a brilliant charity called sportability that helps Wheelchair users try new and interesting sports. I have done shooting, quad biking (that really wasn't easy!) archery and even flying with them.....We have had a busy few days. Yesterday we had 27 S.E.N.D children from local schools taking part in a Yrs 3-6 Schools competition. Well done to Parkfield school who were the eventual winners.
Today we hosted our 7th annual Adult learning disabilities tournament with 15 Adults participating. Well done to Daniella and Dan for winning their events and to all the participants who all played well. Thanks to all the helpers, parents, Bournemouth Deputy Mayor & Deputy Mayoress, Boscombe & Southbourne Rotary, The Captains Club, Neals & Son butchers in Tuckton for helping make another successful event.
Good luck to Rafa, Aidan, Daisy & Sophie representing Southbourne in tomorrow's Team Tennis 8U Regional Festival! We're hosting the event for 5 teams from 1-4pm, with the winners going through to the 8U Final at The West Hants Club on Sunday 23rd June. It's going to be a busy afternoon! 🎾👍🥇
