Tennis
Hi
Welcome to Grosvenor Lawn Tennis Club and many thanks for checking out our website.
We are proud to offer a wide range of Membership options, whether you are just starting out and want to learn how to play, through to team tennis for those that want to develop and take their game to the next level.
During the summer season GLTC runs teams in three leagues:
Essex, Romford and Brentwood Leagues
This may vary from season to season depending on player availability. The standard between the teams can vary, depending on the league and the division our teams are in. We try to give all members the chance to play in a team if they are interested.
Teams are run by designated Captains and we have a Captains’ Sub-Committee to oversee and support their work.
Teams are selected to be competitive in the league in which they are in.
These work on a turn up and join in basis and we use the pegboard in the Clubhouse to change the combination of players in the matches. In daytime and early evening (without lights) we use a first to 5 games format. Once the floodlights are in use, the format changes to playing just 5 games. Balls are provided. New balls are used on a Sunday and a Wednesday mornings
The club runs a junior tournament which has singles and doubles events. The finals day takes place in July
and the matches leading up to the final are played from April onwards. The events include:
- Boys Under 18 Singles and Doubles
- Boys Under 14 Singles and Doubles
- Boys Under 12 Singles
- Boys Under 10 Single
- Girls Under 18 Singles and Doubles
- Girls Under 14 Singles
- Girls Under 12 Singles
- Girls Under 10 Singles
A fun mini green tennis tournament is run once a year for club junior members.
Grosvenor tries to give its juniors as much team tennis experience as possible, making it a great club if you are looking to gain experience playing in the Essex junior tennis leagues. The club enters teams into the Hamptons League, which are currently as follows:
- 12 & U Boys
- 12 & U Girls
- 16 & U Mixed
- 18 & U Mixed
Adult Group Coaching sessions take place on a Tuesday morning and Monday and Wednesday evenings.
The groups are structured to group the adults with others of a similar ability
The hour sessions are £5.50 for members and £7.50 for Non-members (Paid Termly)

School holiday coaching courses are run for the junior members as well as non-members, these courses provide a fun and exciting way for the juniors to develop their tennis skills. These courses take place during the Easter and Summer school holidays. Each course is coached in a way that caters for juniors of all standards – by running a range of sessions across five hours per day, we are able to tailor each hour long session for certain standards of player. These courses are open to junior tennis players from across the county.
The categories that the coach runs include:
- Mini Red
- Mini Orange
- Mini Green
- Club Junior
We operate a court booking system via an App or Website called ‘Court Reserve’. Here you can book courts for singles and doubles play and for social tennis where a booking is required. You will be given a User Name and Password to access this once you are a member.
