Nestled down a hidden track in Malmesbury is a local club you may never have heard about, or even set eyes on: The Malmesbury Tennis Club.
A long-established club just off Tetbury Hill, it boasts five full-sized courts (4 hard, 1 carpet) as well as a mini court and practice wall. Their hard courts offer floodlights; meaning members can play all year-round. Additionally, the fifth court is open to registered community members allowing them to book the court and try out tennis for free.
Anyone visiting can instantly notice that the club has a vibrant feel and active social element. Members range from 4 to 87 years old, all of which enjoy tennis at different levels. There are club sessions every Tuesday evening and Sunday morning plus social events, internal tournaments and competitive league teams. Their clubhouse has recently been renovated, so members and visitors can enjoy the facilities.
Malmesbury Tennis Club also supports those wanting to improve their skills through James Wescott, their professional and welcoming coach. James runs a year-round coaching programme for both junior and adult players and membership is not necessary if you wanted some dedicated coaching sessions. There are also group coaching lessons for all standards, including ladies-only coaching sessions, cardio drills and improver sessions; everyone is catered for.
So whether you are new to tennis, or are an advanced player, this club can offer so much. From social tennis sessions, friendly competitions, junior and adult coaching, plus there’s the opportunity to take part in local league matches for the more competitive players.
