The Club has been playing in Rowntree Park since the 1950’s and is the most centrally positioned tennis club in York.
The main objectives of the Club are enshrined in its Rules and Constitution:
The Club makes no profits. All surpluses are put towards a sinking fund that is intended to fund the replacement of the courts on a 5-7 year time scale.
The Club continues its agreement with City of York Council to supervise tennis on all six of the Rowntree Park courts.
The courts have been professionally cleaned prior to the start of the season.
Tennis For Kids courses continue this year.
From our Rules and Constitution:
Juniors have the same rights to court access as Adult members.
Members will be provided with a club shoe tag which must be worn whenever playing on the courts so that club supervisors can identify members.
We have a club ladder for mixed singles matches hosted by TennisRungs. This is for members and runs throughout the year.
Email whatsapp@rowntreeparktennis.org.uk if you'd like to join any of these groups:
Club play sessions for members run from April to September on Thursdays at 18:30 and Saturdays at 14:00 on Courts 5 and 6 (over-flowing on to Court 4 if needed). Members may arrange play between themselves (and book Courts 4-6 online at no cost) at other times (if no team matches or other organised activities are taking place). The Club Ladder and the WhatsApp Group are useful vehicles for finding other people who want to play.
The Club has six teams: three Men’s Doubles who play on a Sunday morning or afternoon, two Mixed Doubles who play on an evening from 18:30 (home games are usually Mondays and Tuesdays) and one Ladies' Doubles who usually play on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon.
From our Rules and Constitution:
Any member is expected to pay the Treasurer (or other committee member) £3 per visitor at the next available opportunity. Full members may host Social members at peak times without the need to pay the visitor fee.
