Tennis For All
Thongsbridge Tennis Club can proudly claim to be one of the most progressive and dynamic tennis clubs in Britain.
Watch out for our eblast with our weekend schedule where you can see some of our top tennis teams in action during the Summer. You can also come down on Monday evenings to watch the ladies and Tuesday evenings to watch the men in action in the Huddersfield League from the last week in April to the first week in August.

Social Tennis
A strong social core is the backbone to the club and a full range of adult coaching groups are run throughout the week with the emphasis on improving your tennis game whilst enjoying great company.
During the winter season, we have indoor social tennis which runs on a Sunday afternoon 4pm-6pm. Book online to book your place @ £4, numbers limited.
During the summer season, from the end of Easter to the beginning of September, the club runs social events for adult members outdoors (not available for off peak members). Come down and enjoy some social doubles and meet fellow members. Social starts again w/c 8th April each Wednesday & Thursday at 6.30pm. Members can either turn up on the evening for social tennis or ask to join the WhatsApp groups run by volunteers. The courts are pre-booked and the lights if required are free.
If the interest in social tennis increases, we will release more court time.
Coaching Programme
Coaching
The future of tennis firmly falls on our young players and with over 500 children, across a range of ages, enrolled on coaching programmes it is no surprise that a large part of our coaching is directed at the juniors.
The junior development journey starts as early as 3 years old with Tiny Tots (please contact reception for new class times for Tiny Tots) and progresses through Blue, Red, Orange and Green stages of LTA’s Youth Tennis programme.
As part of our outreach programme coaches visit all schools in the Holme Valley and further afield.
The club benefits from a coaching team of 9, including a nationally recognised Head Performance coach, and provides high quality coaching tailored to meet your individual needs. The professionalism and approach of the coaching team has resulted in the club being awarded LTA performance status.
