The Oxford University Tennis Club is the home of "Real Tennis". This is the original "royal" tennis (think Real as in Real Madrid, meaning 'regal') played in an indoor court with sloping surfaces, galleries, and other unusual features.
The club is a friendly place, open to all, not just to members of the University. There is play at all levels with junior, student and senior members playing all year round, overseen by two full-time professionals. Membership is simple - just phone or call in and talk to the pros.
If you'd like to know more about the sport, you're welcome to come along to the club and watch a game. Or you can find an introduction to the "king of racquet sports" and its rules under
About Real Tennis.
The court is extremely popular especially during term, and it will help avoid disappointment if you book ahead. New players, though, should not be put off, as the pros will always try to make time for you.
The court is open daily from 8am till 10.30pm and can be booked up to three weeks in advance using our BOOKING SYSTEM. Alternatively, you can phone Alan or Andrew on (01865) 244212 to find out about any spare slots or e-mail them at: tennis@herald.ox.ac.uk
