Weekly Social Tennis

Monday Afternoon Tennis

Monday afternoon tennis is coordinated by Stephen Yates. It is usually three sets played between 14:00 & 16:00 or between 15:00 & 17:00 or between 16:00 & 18:00 depending on the time of year and weather outlook. Most games are doubles with the occasional singles when required. All the games are pre-planned, with the intention of creating balanced play.
