We have started getting ready for first Club night and are making preparations for the evening. As always, there is a warm welcome for non members to come along and join us to play some tennis and enjoy the refreshments.
Bill will be on hand to give some coaching tips and we will have a selection of racquets and balls if you don’t have your own equipment.
Keep an eye out for our new poster which will be seen around and about the Club in the next few days!

February might seem very early to be discussing plans for summer tennis – but it is a key month in the local tennis calendar. Work starts in earnest when Town Green representatives attend both the Southport and Liverpool Tennis Group fixture meetings where our teams play league tennis. Then Clubs will host their own Committee meetings to organise events, purchase balls and agree court time for the season.
The first three confirmed dates are always first club night, coaching and our early season American Tournament and once we have these agreed it feels like the season is underway. This year the dates are
Coaching – usual format with Bill’s popular Saturday mornings starting 1st April
First Club Night – our curtain raiser for the season will be at 7pm on the 11th April
American Tournament – to be held at 2pm on Sunday 30th April
These dates have only just been announced and there will be plenty more information in the very near future.
Bill Dow’s Saturday coaching programme starts on the 16th April and will run through the season till mid October. Bill has run this fun tennis morning for many years and it is very popular. It’s a great way for youngsters to enjoy and learn the game.
The Saturday morning schedule is
9.30 to 10.30 – under 7s
10.30 to 11.30 – under 10s
11.30 to 12.30 – under 14s
If you have a form please bring it with you otherwise just turn up on the day!
Parents are welcome to watch but if you want to play yourselves why not consider our superb value family membership. With plenty of court time available for free play, families can enjoy tennis together right through the season. Check out our membership page for more details or feel free to give us a call for more information.
It probably wont come as a surprise that the Junior Tennis Summer Camp which was due to start on Monday 27th has had to be delayed due to weather.and will now start on Wednesday (tomorrow).
The forecast for Ormskirk and West Lancashire seems to be improving so hopefully the Juniors will have better weather for the three days of tennis fun.
