Hill Lane Tennis Club

Coaching programme 2025

Our new Coaching Programme will start on Monday 6th January 2025 and will be led by Top Bounce, our new coaching provider. Details of all sessions, fees and locations can be found on the Coaching tab on the club’s website.

Important reminder!

Lockington Court 4 Vegetation Chopping from 12.30 pm Sat 3rd August. Please bring muscles and any heavy duty tools you have. Burgers, hot dogs and soft drinks for sale and there may be a bit of social tennis too!

Just a reminder that the Plymouth Junior Closed Tournament will be played at the Lockington Avenue courts from 9am on Saturday 27th July. Spectators are welcome, there will be refreshments for sale and the weather forecast is excellent!

Please note the Plymouth Open will be played primarily at the Devonshire this year but we will still retain the mini competitions (red/orange/green) at the Hill Lane site to be held on Sunday 21st July

The level will be reasonably high (possibly some county players) so as a rule of thumb most suitable for those that have previously confidently competed in the monthly mini comps or equivalent and for adventurous yellow ball players those that have been playing in Div 1 or 2 of the junior league that are not afraid of testing themselves against tough competition.

Remember there is also the Plymouth Closed held on Saturday 27th July @ Lockington that is a more local tournament def suitable for Div 1 or 2 league players (14 U and 18U singles only)

Please enter using the online links on the Home page of the Hill Lane Tennis Club website.

Any volunteers to assist with canteen on the 21st or 27th July would be very welcome.

The Great Hill Lane tidy up day at the junior club site, message from Alec Rickard.

Let's get Hill Lane looking ship shape as it's not only pirate day soon, but the local summer league and competition season has started.

Parents and players of all ages, please join us on Saturday 11th May to help with some tidying up of the Hill Lane site. Weeding, pruning and maybe some painting are needed outside whilst there will also be clearing and cleaning in the clubhouse. We will start whilst the junior coaching sessions are running and then there will be opportunities to continue after, but whatever time you can give will be welcome.

Drinks and snacks provided for the workers!
