Turn up, mix in, play. No partner needed.
Social tennis is the heartbeat of Sandal. Sessions are organised so you can arrive on your own, be put into a game, and play good tennis with good people. A committee member or a more experienced member facilitates play and sets up the games.
Social Improvers. A gentler, inclusive session run by club members.
Social. All standards, rotating partners, friendly doubles.
Mixed Social Improvers. For anyone not yet sure they are ready for the main social sessions.
Team match practice. High tempo, for team players and those invited with a view to selection.
Social Improvers and Social.
Social. The busiest evening of the week.
Social. A relaxed afternoon of mixed-in doubles.
We encourage players to mix in and play sets together — sometimes full sets, sometimes first to five, sometimes best of five, depending on how busy the session is. Some matches are played at a high tempo and a high standard; plenty are not. Both are welcome.
On court we expect good etiquette: hit the ball to your opponent at a pace suited to their game rather than yours, keep play safe, and use the session to develop skill rather than power.
Our safeguarding, diversity and inclusion policy applies at every social session. Please see Safeguarding.
Any member who would like to be considered for a club team should contact Patrick Bywater on 07875 757575, or speak to any committee member at a session.
