Now that the tennis season is approaching, this is an opportune moment to remind readers that Newton Aycliffe has an LTA Affiliated tennis club, open to anyone interested in playing. Greenfield Tennis Club operates in partnership with Greenfield Community College and has use of the courts and facilities at the College on most evenings and weekends, with floodlighting allowing play in hours of darkness.

The courts are porous macadam and were resurfaced to competition standard in 2017 with the aid of grant funding from local councillors via GAMP.

The Club runs junior coaching sessions on Saturday mornings, which are not expensive, and are a great way to get kids active and involved in the sport.

The Club runs adult Club nights two nights a week and plays in two local tennis leagues. Membership rates are extremely reasonable.

Whether you are an experienced player looking for a local club, or a beginner interested in taking up tennis, do check out the Club’s website www.greenfieldtennis.co.uk to find out more details on what the Club has to offer.

Anyone in town interested in tennis should be interested in Greenfield Tennis Club.
