Charlbury Tennis Club


Charlbury Tennis Club, is affiliated to the Lawn Tennis Association and is one of their official Places to Play tennis. We offer tennis facilities for everybody living in Charlbury and surrounding areas, and we aim to provide a friendly and enjoyable environment for players of all ages and abilities.

Activities
Club sessions are for players of all standards and take place throughout the year. A committee member is always present to ensure that everyone gets a game.
Sessions are held at the following times:
Sunday ............................ 2.00pm to 4.00pm
Monday ............................ 1.30 pm to 3.00 pm
Wednesday .......................... 7.00pm to 9.00 pm

Competitive Tennis
Adult teams take part in local leagues during the week and at weekends in the summer, notably:
� the Banbury League (2 mixed teams playing on weekday evenings);
� the Men's 2-pair Dunlop League (1 team playing on Saturday or Sunday);
� the Women's 2-pair Dunlop League (1 team playing at weekends); and
� the Wychwood League (a mixed team playing local clubs at weekends).

During the winter we also enter two mixed teams in the weekend Banbury League and one in the Banbury midweek floodlit league.

A club championship for ladies singles and men's singles is usually held in the summer and there are various ladies, men's and mixed doubles tournaments throughout the year.

Facilities
The club has its home at Nine Acres recreation ground, Charlbury, where we share an excellent new pavilion with the two Football clubs, and make regular use of four well maintained floodlit hard courts operated by the Nine Acres committee of the Town council.Floodlights are available all year round.
Free car parking is available nearby in the Spendlove Centre car park.
