Welcome to Charlton Kings Tennis Place.  We are pleased to have been open since 3rd April 2021 and are able to offer our normal programme.  We have had to make a few tweaks to the way we do things in line with coronavirus guidelines to ensure safety but this has had no detriment to the enjoyment of our activities. New members are welcome to enquire about joining at any point during the season.  

About the Club
Charlton Kings Tennis Place in Cheltenham is a friendly local tennis club. The club is proud to be based at Balcarras School Sports Centre and is open for six months of the year from Easter until the end of October.

In 2020 we had exciting facility news - we are now a 7 court venue.  The Club is now using the school's 4 brand new multi use tennis courts, as well as the existing 3 top quality all weather courts.

The club offers something to members of all ages and abilities.  It provides a seasonal club making it affordable to join for up to six months.  There is a mix of organised social, coaching, competitive and casual play opportunities.

We are an LTA registered club which means certain minimum standards have to be met to ensure a safe and inclusive environment for all players. It also means that members can expect access to the Club's annual Wimbledon Ballot.

"just wanted to thank you both ever so much for a fantastic tennis club season which was appreciated more than ever this year offering a bit of normalness and lots of enjoyment in strange times. Appreciate it took you lots more time and effort to arrange everything but thank you so much for doing that. Both the club and yourselves are really fantastic!"
