David Lloyd Clubs Racquets

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

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 tennis too. If you’ve not played them yet, there really is no better place to start. 

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.

There are also vibrant communities of tennis-lovers in our clubs, with competitions, weekly games and social events. It’s easy to find new people to play, whatever your level. 

We are excited to announce that the Jaguar Championships are back for 2017, beginning in David Lloyd clubs.  

The Jaguar Championships were a new addition to the Total Tennis calendar in 2016 and Finchley went on to take the crown at the National Finals held at Raynes Park last June. This year, the format has been extended to two levels of entry, Improvers and Advanced.

Teams are invited to sign up for the first club round of the Jaguar Championships, which runs from February 25th – March 19th. The winning team from each club event will then proceed to the Regional Finals in April, and then the National Finals in June.

Teams that make it to the National Finals will again be in with the chance to win an award winning Jaguar F-PACE for the weekend, as well as the chance to watch the world’s best tennis players at Wimbledon this summer.
