About us

Established in 1895, the Thames Tennis Club is a vibrant inclusive club with year-round strong social and competitive league competitions, friendly mid-week tennis and the largest group of junior players on the Coromandel Peninsula. 

Great tennis coaching is a big part of the club. From beginners who want to learn, through to the competitive players who want to polish up their game at a high level.  Our club coach runs programmes for all players from tiny tots through to seniors.

Scheduled activities run most weekdays, beginning with our popular club night on Mondays.

Come try us out today... We'd love you to join us!

Our programme

Tiny Tots
Bring your little ones to be introduced to a racquet and learn basic ball skills in a fun way. Children will be taught in small groups and will play fun games and exercises designed to develop ball-handling skills.  They will be introduced to holding a tennis racquet correctly with activities focusing on hand-eye coordination.
