Tennis 2020-2021
News
Our two floodlit courts have just been resurfaced and we are looking for funding to resurface the 3rd court and to build a 4th.
Sign up to the Congresbury Tennis Club Newletter (non-members welcome too) so you know what’s happening at the tennis club; club days, tournaments, coaching, social tennis etc. If you have children then you may want to sign up for the Junior Tennis Club Newsletter for periodic details of junior coaching and related events/news.
Our ladies’ A team are in Division 3 and we have also have started a B team for the first time in our history, so are keen for more ladies to join for both ladies and mixed tennis.
The men’s teams have expanded to 4 teams (and 2 teams in the Friday Avon league) so are also looking to recruit more players to join the squad. The summer league season begins each April .
The men’s A team play in North Somerset and are in Division 1 for summer 2022 after coming 2nd by 1 point last seasons. Our B and C teams will again be seeking promotion after coming top last season, and the D team came 4th in a tough division for them.
Winter League
League tennis doesn’t end in the summer we are enjoying a successful winter mixed team in the North Somerset Autumn League where we have involved a large number of men and ladies, and gained promotion from the bottom division last winter. We have also recently started a new men’s Vets team (over-45s) which in October 2021 gained promotion from division 3.
If you’ve not played league before (including juniors) and would like to have a go let us know.
