Tennis Club Reports from 2022

Hallmark May 2025. With the lighter evenings comes the summer league and we are off to a flying start with the mixed doubles team winning 8-0 against Princes Risborough. It’s early in the season but we are feeling competitive having built strong and consistent teams the last few seasons.

The men’s and ladies friendly singles tournaments are about to get underway which is always a good battle with a well-deserved winner.

The Gin and Fizz night was postponed and will now be combined with the fun tournament on the 28th June. There will be a social throughout the tournament during the day, and then into the evening merriment at the beautifully refurbished Sports Club.  Tickets will be available shortly- all welcome!  

The big news is the construction of the long awaited Padel court. We would like to extend a thank you to the parish council for their generous grant towards this exciting project for local sport! At the time of writing the concrete lorries were arriving to complete the foundations for the court. For those of you who don’t know about Padel it is the fastest growing sport in Europe, it is family friendly and can be easily played in groups with mixed abilities, it is played on a softer surface so kinder to joints! We are looking forward to welcoming g our first players by June- visit our website or follow us on facebook/Instagram for more information and to see the range of introductory offers!

Hallmark March 2025. Spring is finally in the air and with it comes enthusiasm for tennis! The courts are starting to get busier as members come out of hibernation and dust off their rackets. We are all looking forward the summer league and friendly competitions and tournaments!

We are excited to announce that the Club is in an advanced planning stage to bring padel tennis to our community. Padel is the world’s fastest-growing sport, popular with the likes of David Beckham, Anthony Joshua and Andy Murray, and is a cross between tennis and squash. It is played on a half sized enclosed tennis court

with the ability to hit off the sides. It’s very popular as it’s easy to pick up, good for mixed abilities and age groups and it’s a good work out while being kind on your joints! There are currently only six courts in Buckinghamshire, and we hope by mid-summer

Dan’s award

Our amazing coach, Dan, has been awarded coach of the year. His nomination included recognition of “his hugely popular tot’s tennis sees him playing the role of a shark, dog trainer and tennis coach” and his ability to “Teach the unteachable”

Coaches like Dan are extremely rare, he is a brilliant player and coach. We are extremely lucky that he enjoys the challenge of teaching us and the club simply wouldn’t be the same without him!

Gin and Fizz. Our ever popular Gin and Fizz night was due to be held at The Sports club on 14th March, but has been postponed to a little later in the year (date TBC), the event is open to everyone and we would love to see lots of people there!
