Thursday Night Social Tennis Back

After being closed down for over a year because of the court light failures, Thursday Night Social Tennis resumed on 10 April.

So far, numbers have been fairly modest but hopefully will quickly build back up. There was a great vibe at Social Tennis last night (17 April) as Gabby was taking requests from players for the music being played over the Club’s sound system.

Social Tennis is a great way to have a game in a relaxed and friendly environment without the pressure or commitment of Fixtures and Tournaments.  Because of the high numbers, all Social Tennis matches are doubles. 

Social Tennis also runs on Sunday afternoons from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m.  Sunday Afternoon Social Tennis will be running, as usual, on Easter Sunday (20 April].  

There is no pre-registering for Social Tennis.  Just turn up on the night/day and check in upstairs on the Clubhouse verandah. 

Social Tennis costs $12 for members or $18 for non-members.  Only EFTPOS payments accepted.

The UQ Tennis Club’s Social Tennis programs are run by a small group of dedicated volunteers.

There are currently vacancies for Social Tennis Organizers.

If you are interested in volunteering to help with Social Tennis, please email uqtcsocialcommittee@gmail.comand indicate your interest:

N.B. While Social Tennis caters for high to low level players, it is not suitable for absolute beginners as it is not a teaching program.  People wanting to learn how to play Tennis should attend some coaching classes such as the Adult Group Coaching Beginner Course run by the UQ Sport Tennis Centre (https://uqsport.com.au/tennis-coaching).  Players doing coaching courses would benefit from attending the Tennis Club's Wednesday Night Tennis Practice program.  Players should not attend Social Tennis until they have mastered the basic shots, can sustain a rally, know the basic rules and understand the scoring system.
