Tennis and beyond
Tennis is where it all started for David Lloyd Clubs over 30 years ago. And today, it’s still the beating heart of the Club experience. And we’re constantly improving – just like our members.
You’ll have access to:
Tennis coaching
Fast-track Tennis
Social and Club tennis
Other racquets sports
A court above the rest
In addition to the world’s largest team of qualified coaches, we have match-quality courts of all different surfaces, both indoors and outdoors. So, no matter the weather or time of year, you can get out to play.
The benefits of tennis
Whether you’re an old hand or have yet to pick up a racquet, there’s so much to gain from a game of tennis.
Challenge your body and mind
Tennis is a full-body workout. But it’s also a workout for the brain. Every game involves planning, tactical thinking, agility and coordination – all of which gets the grey matter working.
Burn calories
Tennis is a fast-paced game packed with movement. That means you end up burning a lot of calories – a game of singles can burn between 400-600.
Meet like-minded people
Our tennis socials provide you with the opportunity to meet new people, make friends and expand your social circle.

Tennis coaching
From total beginners wanting to try tennis for the first time, to life-long players looking to improve their technique, our tennis coaching is for you.
We offer both 1-2-1 and group coaching lessons so you can choose the learning environment that works for you. Our highly qualified coaches will tailor sessions to help hone your skills and improve your overall enjoyment of the game. They know just how to get the best out of their students – while still making sure everyone is having a great time.
Tennis coaching is available at an additional cost.
Fast-track for beginners
It’s right there in the name. Fast-track Tennis is a fun course for beginners where you’ll learn the fundamentals of tennis. Fast.
Groups are kept to a maximum of 6 people per court, so you’ll receive the one-to-one attention you need. Over the course of 4 one-hour sessions, you’ll learn to serve, volley and pick up the basics of forehand and backhand.
And once you’ve completed that course, you can take your game to the next level with On Track Tennis – building on what you’ve learned in longer, more intense sessions.
More racquet sports
Our racquets courts and expertise don’t stop with tennis. Depending on the Club, you can also try Padel – a really popular new sport, that's perfect for beginners and experienced tennis players alike.
Whether you want to try a new racquet sport or perfect your existing skills, you’re in the right place.
