Court availability and priority of use
At Hexham Tennis Club, Tynedale we strive to have courts available for play for all members at all times. We are one of the few clubs in Northumberland to have more than 4 courts, so fortunately this is nearly always possible. However during the course of the week during the summer, some courts will be required for matches, coaching, match practice and the club social play sessions. However these sessions rarely take up all courts. At the height of the match season and only very occasionally you may have to wait for a court or be prepared to make up a doubles four instead of singles play.
The courts and pavilion are usually kept locked when not in use. When joining the Club you will be given details on how to access the courts and facilities.
Tennis balls
A supply of ex-match balls is available for use by members. However, it is advisable to bring some balls, just in case.
Club sessions
Club social mixed tennis: Tuesdays from 5.30pm and Saturdays from 1.30pm. Check out the Club Facilities page for details on other arranged club socials.
Please contact us if you’re a complete beginner.
Team tennis
If you are keen to participate in team tennis (doubles), please come along on the designated match practice nights or give the Men’s or Ladies’ captain a ring – view contact details here.
Coaching at Hexham Tennis Club
Hexham’s Head Coach is Tom Geary (LTA Level 3 qualified coach). Tom coaches players of all ages and abilities, both individually and in groups. For all coaching enquiries, please contact Tom.

More information for Visitors
Visitors are welcome to play at the club on completion of a Visitor Registration Form which is available in the pavilion.
The visitor fee is £5 per adult and £2 per junior. Visits are limited to 5 in any one year. However if a visitor wishes to play with a view to joining the club eventually, then they can enjoy two complimentary visits, followed by three more at £5 per visit. These can be paid by bank transfer (details on application form). On joining the club these visitor fees will be deducted from the joining fee. For safeguarding reasons the member must send contact details of the visitors to the
membership secretary.
We welcome young visitors and members, but please ensure that they are supervised on the courts, and in the pavilion and grounds. All children under 13 years of age must be accompanied by an adult or in an official coaching session.
