Tennis

South Croydon Tennis Club offers competitive and social tennis for both adults and juniors within a fun and friendly setting. With an active membership and several club sessions per week, you won’t be short of opportunities to play and to enjoy the social side of the club.

We have five all weather courts, three of which have floodlights and were all re-surfaced in September 2017.

Club Sessions

There are five club sessions (social, doubles play) per week:

• Tuesday and Friday mornings (10:00 - 14:00)
• Tuesday evening (18:00 - 22:00)
• Saturday afternoons (14:00 - 17:00)
• Sunday mornings (10:00 - 13:00)

Balls are provided free of charge at club sessions.

Teams and tournaments

We field six men’s teams, two ladies’ teams and three mixed teams in the Surrey league. There are also opportunities to enter the Surrey knockout league and other county and local tournaments.
The annual club tournament features men's and women's singles, doubles, mixed doubles and junior singles. This runs from the end of April with the finals day taking place in July.
The annual club handicap tournament starts in August with the finals day held in October. The entry categories include open singles, open doubles and mixed doubles.
Our internal singles league operates throughout the year, with promotion and relegation on a three monthly cycle.
We also run one-day fun events during the year, often raising funds for local charitable causes.
