Welcome to South Petherton Tennis Club

South Petherton Tennis Club is a lively and popular tennis club, located in the beautiful South Somerset village of Souh Petherton.

The club was formed on its present site on the recreation ground at Lightgate Lane, South Petherton some fifty years ago. It was an instant success and a great demand for membership has been in force since that time.

New Members

The club opened a new tennis court in 2007 which enabled the club to grow and accept new members who are now enjoying fresh air and fun, knocking tennis balls about.

2008 was a very successful year, seeing 20 new members, many of whom came for our Monday evening coaching sessions (running from 7.00 p.m. till 9.00 p.m. ) Some of these new members have progressed to playing in our general club sessions or the league teams.

During spring 2009 we are having our two main courts cleaned and repainted which will keep them in tiptop condition. We have floodlighting on all three courts as we play tennis throughout the whole year.

Club Etiquette

South Petherton Tennis Club is a friendly and sociable club where we expect a level of 'tennis etiquette' to be adhered to by its members.
