The Leicestershire Lawn Tennis Club

About US

TENNIS COURTS

The Club has 18 tennis courts with 3 different types of surface - grass, savannah (artificial grass) and all-weather macadam. With the exception of the grass courts (which are rested during the winter) all are playable throughout the year - the only day we close is Christmas Day! There is no charge for using the courts during daylight hours and no booking is required - it is unusual for there to be any waiting for courts but there is a procedure to be followed if this should occur.

The Club has 9 floodlit courts which can be booked in advance. There is a charge for using the floodlights.

Members may invite visitors to play at the Club - there is a charge for this and the number of visits is limited.

CLUBHOUSE

The clubhouse has a comfortable lounge area overlooking the main courts, with a well-stocked licensed bar open every evening and on Saturday, Sunday and Tuesday lunchtimes. Catering is provided for functions, tournaments and matches. Changing rooms and shower facilities are available for the convenience of members and visiting players.

SQUASH COURTS

The Club has 2 squash courts available for use by members of the Tennis Club at no charge except for lighting. Courts may be booked up to 2 weeks in advance. Members may invite visitors to play squash - as with tennis, there is a charge and the number of visits is limited. Squash coaching is available from a professional squash coach.

NEWSLETTER

A Club news-sheet, 'On the Ball', is produced regularly and copies are available in the clubhouse for members to take and read at their leisure. 'On the Ball' provides members with up-to-date information on future events, Club activities and recent Club successes.

SOCIAL PROGRAMME

The Club has an active and ongoing social programme which includes events such as Quiz Nights, Parties and Discos, Bridge Nights, Theme Evenings, Barbecues, Christmas Party etc. 'Fun' tennis tournaments are held at different times throughout the year.
