About Our Group

LJMU tennis is an LTA award-winning club based at Liverpool Tennis Centre. With 6 indoor courts and 6 outdoor acrylic courts, Liverpool Tennis Centre gives plenty of opportunities for all to get involved in tennis whatever your level, whilst attending John Moores University. All members are given the opportunity to access weekly coaching for beginner's, improvers and performance level players with LTA qualified coaches. With LJMU tennis there are possibilities to compete in BUCS team leagues (University Leagues) and interclub competitions such as club championships and ladder leagues, results will contribute to your LTA rating (for more information on LTA ratings follow the link provided) http://www.lta.org.uk/competitions/player-ratings-rankings/british-tennis-ratings/

As well as serious competitions, fun events are also an important part of LJMU tennis to make sure that everybody has the opportunity to be involved. These events include Mixed Doubles, Touchtennis (small courts with sponge balls) and 3 legged tennis (tied to your doubles partner). As well as students, the staff of LJMU are also encouraged to pick up a racket and become part of LJMU tennis, with organised coaching and match play sessions.

Through LJMU tennis, there are opportunities to develop your coaching skills and gain NGB qualifications with the LTA at a subsidised rate. This will enable you to have the chance to find part-time employment whilst spending your time at LJMU or to use in a career after you leave university.

At LJMU Tennis, we are a social bunch, we have a club meal at both Christmas and the end of the year to round off the year and the season. We also particpate in joint socials with other societies.
