Anyone for
Tennis?
Four years after the indoor tennis air hall at Tides Leisure Centre was blown away in a storm a new 4 court state of the art tennis centre opened on 1st July 2011. Jointly funded by Dover District Council and British Tennis this excellent new facility offers a complete programme of junior tennis coaching and playing opportunities.
Everyone can enjoy tennis. If you have never played tennis before we can teach you and introduce you to other people who want to play and socialise.
Our qualified Tennis Team are great at putting beginners at ease. Whether you've never held a tennis racquet before or if you've had an occasional game and want to learn more.
Great for Fitness – Playing tennis for three hours a week burns more calories than three hours in the gym lifting weights. Tennis is great fun and good exercise and lessons can help you improve and get the most from this superb sport.
You don’t have to be a member to play but you can make great savings if you join one of our membership schemes.
Tennis is for
everyone!
