This website has recently been refreshed and repaired to improve the visitor experience. We have streamlined the main navigation to six pages, which target the aims laid out in the club's current development plan.
On the HOME page you will:
- Find information about Ripley & Alfreton Tennis Club and what we offer
- See pictures of our facilities, including the freshly repainted tennis courts
- Gain an overview of the club and discover how you can learn more, either by continuing to read this website or contacting a member of the club
The CONTACT page allows you to get in touch with us through the website, via email, or by telephone. We have also ensured that there are opportunities throughout the site for you to connect with us, including following us on Facebook.
If you would like to visit the club and see our facilities and community firsthand, you are welcome to arrange a visit: We are based in Ripley (DE5 3GG), within the Amber Valley district of Derbyshire, close to the Nottinghamshire border.
The main four pages encompass the core principles at the heart of Ripley & Alfreton Tennis Club:
We offer a range of memberships to suit all ages, abilities, and interests. There is no joining fee and new members receive a first-year discounted rate of £90. We also offer concessionary rates for adults aged 60 years and over and junior members (under 18 years old at the time of purchasing membership) pay just £20 for annual membership.
Members can use the courts as often as they wish (using our online booking system) for friendly, inclusive, and fun tennis. We run regular social sessions to encourage members to play together and meet new people. We are proud to be an inclusive club and want to promote the joy of playing tennis.
The club is committed to player development at all ages and levels, offering sessions with an LTA accredited coach. Our coach, Phil Saddler, runs weekly group classes and is also available for 1:1 sessions. These fun and friendly tennis lessons focus on improving tactics, techniques, and match-play.
We play competitive matches throughout the Derby area, fielding women's/ladies’, men’s, and mixed doubles teams. We compete in summer and winter leagues, playing home and away against clubs from around Derbyshire. This is a great opportunity to test yourself against other players within the club and across the county.
On this website, we talk about LTA Advantage and ClubSpark.
You can learn more about these here.
Clicking on each of the logos will open those separate websites in a new window. Creating free accounts with LTA Advantage and ClubSpark will help you make the most of your club membership.
Over time, this website will be developed and updated, so please check back to learn more about friendly and competitive tennis in the Ripley and Alfreton Area.
