Due to coronavirus our usual club programme and opening times has been severely affected. We are gradually introducing some elements of social and competitive play as restrictions are lifted.  The operation of the club has been adapted to comply with social distancing and health and safety guidelines during coronavirus. Please contact us for details about how we are operating during this time and what we are able to offer.

Club Information

Welcome to Charlton Kings Tennis Place.  We are based at Balcarras School Sports Centre on three good quality hard courts and four brand new multi use courts, which are well maintained each year.  The club programme comprises free court bookings, coaching courses, organised tennis social evenings, internal leagues, club team tennis and additional organised tennis events and competitions.  We are confident that there should be something for everyone and you will have the opportunity to take part in as many events as you desire.  

Individual Court bookings
Members can book their own courts during court opening hours up to two weeks in advance.  You will be able to book on-line at no extra cost (if you are unable to do this you can contact Ruth or Simon Thomas by email or telephone to arrange a booking but there may be times where there is a delay in confirmation).  More details about court opening times are available below.   Guidelines for booking courts are available on the book a court page 

Coaching Courses
More information about coaching can be obtained by clicking on the coaching page.

Adult Social Tennis, Thursdays from 6 pm starting 9th April 
These sessions are for adults (and teenagers by invitation) who have a basic understanding of the game and can serve, return and score.  You can turn up and play games with other members in a social environment and we will be there to organise it and supply balls! 

Saturday afternoons Social Tennis 
Two courts are allocated for social tennis, usually mixed doubles or any combination depending on the mix of players.  You don't need to have a partner but can check on a shared diary to see who else is likely to be playing.

Junior Club Evening (supervised)
This takes place during term time on Fridays from 4.30 - 6 pm starting Friday 24th April - 3rd July.  It's a chance for younger members to get together and play friendly games.  This session is free for members, £3.00 for non members and is aimed at school years 6-10 who can have a rally, serve and play points.  For those who want to, there will be an opportunity to play short matches against other members during junior club and enter the LTA Ratings.

all play
We are promoting the LTA's allplay programme, it is an online way for players of all levels to find someone to play of a similar level (either at the club or locally).  For more information click here
