Nestled in the heart of Essex, Wickford Lawn Tennis Club is more than just a place to play tennis – it’s a community hub for fitness, fun, and family bonding. Whether you're 3 or 80, the club offers something for everyone, including top-notch coaching, friendly competitions, and an unbeatable social scene.
A Community for All Ages
Our club currently has 150 active members, ranging from toddlers to seniors, making it the perfect place for everyone to get involved. We cater to all abilities, from beginners to seasoned players, ensuring that everyone feels welcome on the court. Plus, with our 121 coaching sessions tailored specifically to your needs, you can go as intense as you like, perfect for improving both fitness and mental health.
Professional Coaching and Lessons
At Wickford Lawn Tennis Club, we take coaching seriously. We offer kids' group lessons every weekday and individual lessons tailored to both adults and children. With experienced coaches like Craig and Lucas, your tennis skills will develop in no time. Our adult league games, both home and away, add a competitive edge while fostering a sense of camaraderie.
Unique Location and Social Vibe
What truly sets our club apart is our unique grounds, shared with the Wickford Cricket Club. This allows us to offer a spacious, green area where families can gather, kids can play multiple sports, and parents can relax with a drink from the cricket club pavilion. Fridays in the summer are particularly special, with children playing tennis and cricket, creating an old-school community feel where adults socialize and kids roam freely on the field.
Facilities and Events
We’re proud to offer three Tiger Turf Pro courts, all floodlit to ensure you can play even as the sun sets. Our courts are perfect for both casual games and more structured events like our in-house summer tournament, which culminates with an exciting finals day on October 6th. Plus, we regularly host local schools for mini-tournaments, offering our courts for free and fostering the next generation of tennis talent. The finals for these events are held at Billericay Tennis Club.
Tennis for Longevity
Did you know that playing tennis can actually help you live longer? A study found that tennis players can add almost 10 years to their lifespan! Tennis combines aerobic and anaerobic activity, improving both physical and mental health. So when you pick up that racket, you’re doing much more than just hitting a ball – you’re investing in your future well-being.
Testimonials
“As a grandmother, it’s been a delight to watch my grandchildren learn and grow at our local tennis club. Craig and Lucas are two of the best coaches you could ask for. They manage to make lessons both fun and educational, and I’ve seen such positive changes in my grandchildren’s confidence and tennis skills since joining this club. If you’re looking for a friendly, well-run place for your children to learn tennis, I can’t recommend this club highly enough.” – Jane Lavender
