Tennis at Hanley

Hanley welcomes members of all abilities, including beginners. We offer, and can arrange coaching, for those who wish to improve their game.. Members' standards of play vary and we offer friendly social tennis for improvers and (some strong) intermediate level players.

Social tennis

These social club sessions are a great opportunity to meet and play with other Hanley members and visitors. They take place on Saturdays and Sundays from around 2pm till late. Doubles are played at most club sessions, although members can arrange to play singles during the week. If you would like to join us please see  more details on the Join the club page.

Care and maintenance of courts and clubhouse

As the courts are shale, after play they are swept with large court brushes. In winter frost covers may also be used.
​
One or twice a year work parties are held, and members are invited to help contribute to the maintenance of the courts and clubhouse. These half-days are good fun and a delicious lunch is provided for those who help out.

Health and safety

Security is everyone’s responsibility. Because of our secluded position it is vital that the courts, equipment shed and clubhouse are locked after play. New members are asked to familiarise themselves with the security arrangements. The Club is insured against accidents through the LTA scheme. Members are reminded of the need for and benefit of warm up exercises before playing. Please ask one of the coaches if unsure of a good warm up/cool down routine. Our Health and Safety Policy can be found in the Useful Information section

The safety and welfare of children remains the full responsibility of parents whilst on club premises. ​ Nobody under the age of 18 is allowed to play at Hanley unsupervised without the prior consent of the Committee.
