Victoria Lawn Tennis Club, in Street, Somerset, welcomes players of all ages and ability We have two new Astro Turf Courts and two hard courts which have been recently painted and refreshed. There are floodlights on all four courts, allowing for year round play. We have good court availability, with free play, and booking via ClubSpark, at all times except club sessions where you can just turn up.
As well as our own Tennis Pavilion next to the courts, with kitchen and toilets, we enjoy all the facilities of the Victoria Social Club, with spacious changing rooms and showers, a well -stocked bar, two lounge areas, pool table, skittle alley and function hall.
The club is friendly and inclusive with plenty of opportunity to socialise. Social events include club tournaments, quiz nights and a Christmas get together.
As well as social and club tennis we compete in county summer and winter leagues with great success, running Men’s teams (A, B and C), Women’s Teams (A, B, and C), Mixed doubles and Vet’s teams.
We are lucky to have an outstanding professional coach John Cooksley and assistant coach Joseph Pitman, who are available throughout the year for individual and group coaching for both juniors and seniors. Please see below for coaching timetable.
Outside of club sessions or league matches the courts are always accessible with a members fob. Victoria Club would prefer that playing is restricted where possible, to sociable hours and lights are not to be used after 10pm, the neighbours and community should be respected at all times.
The club have 2 astro courts and 2 hard courts.
