Play Tennis

Racquet sports are where everything started here at David Lloyd Clubs, and we now have over 30 years of experience giving members of all ages first-rate coaching and quality facilities.

Whether you’re an experienced player or a complete beginner, we’ve got everything you need to improve your game and increase your confidence. And our coaching, courts and expertise isn’t just in tennis – it also covers badminton, squash and Padel too. If you’ve never picked up a racquet before, there really is no better place to get started. 

Given our love of tennis, it’s no surprise that our facilities are second to none. We’ve got the world’s largest team of qualified coaches, as well as 850 match-quality courts, both indoors and outdoors. It means you can have a lesson, play a match or practice your serve all year round, whatever the weather – and you can book courts in advance really quickly with our app too.

Our clubs are also home to vibrant communities of tennis-lovers, with competitions, matches and social events making it easy to find new people to play, whatever your level. 

Tennis is a great game to learn at a young age. Our programme of lessons and classes for kids and teenagers are the perfect way to introduce them to the game and to help them to develop their skills. 

Our expert coaches, state-of-the-art racquets facilities and comprehensive programme of tennis lessons for kids provide an ideal environment for learning the game.

Whether your child is totally new to the game, or they’re slightly older and are looking to take their game to the next level, we’ll help them to realise their potential whilst making new friends and having plenty of fun.

We’ve got almost 200 superb badminton courts across the UK, as well as expert coaches and regular competitions, so whether you already love the game or are keen to get started, you’re in the ideal place. 

Expand your racquets experience and give something new a try with Pickleball or Padel at David Lloyd Clubs.

Pickleball is easy to pick up for racquet sport novices and veterans alike – it’s fun, social, and surprisingly addictive. Pickleball players use paddles – with a larger, more flexible hitting surface than table tennis bats – to hit a lightweight, perforated plastic ball on a badminton-sized court with a lowered net.

Padel is a super-fast racquet sport that's really popular in Spain and Latin America, and once you’ve tried it, you’ll know why. Something of a cross between squash and tennis, Padel is played on an enclosed court in pairs, and it's great fun! Not only is it super easy to pick up, but it's a really sociable sport too.
