Welcome to the Littleton Tennis Club website
Littleton Tennis Club is open to all members of the public. We have a rich history stretching back to the 1920s and in recent years, owing the efforts of the committee, we have established ourselves on the Hampshire tennis circuit, hosting matches and competitions.
We have 6 fine tarmac courts, 2 of which are set slightly apart from the others and are equipped with floodlights. We currently have three mix-ins available, depending on the standard of the players:
Our Saturday morning (10-12) mix-in is for "intermediate" players
Our Sunday afternoon (2-4) mix-in is for anybody as it is a "social" mix-n
Our Thursday evening (7-9) mix-in is for "team standard" players
So there is something for all adult players and the juniors have their own mix-in and fun time on Friday evenings (5-8) during term time organised by our coach, Chris Hughes.
Littleton takes part in matches throughout the year although most frequently during the late spring and all summer months.
New members are given a golden oportunity when joining the club of a free half hour coaching session with the coach. Find out more about further coaching and about the coach's skills and drills group coaching. If you are not sure of your standard, the coach will be best placed to advise you once you have taken up this offer.
There is so much tennis going on at our club! Why not find out more. Contact the Chairman or any member of the committee about joining our Club.

Fun! Fun! Fun!
Our next fun tournament will be on 27 May 2012 at 14:00 with subsequent ones on the last Sunday of every other month.
The format will be the usual mix-up where nobody will ever play with or against the same people for a set number of matches. Handicap rules will apply.
It's £2 per entry, no prizes just good clean fun! Cup of tea and biscuits after (and possibly an open bar if the demand is there!!). Balls are provided.
The events are open to everyone, social players, team players and juniors providing you can hold a tennis racquet.
You don't need to let us know if you wish to play; but you will have to get to the courts promptly at 2:00pm or you won't get a team number.
So please mark Sunday 27th May, 2:00pm into your diaries for the next of the bimonthly fun tournaments!
The full list is as follows:
29th January 2012
25th March 2012
27th May 2012

Boxing Day Bank Holiday Fun Tournament, 27 December 2011
Huge thanks to Sue and Les Brown for getting this tournament off the ground and doing all the hard work, leaving the 20 other competitors to thoroughly enjoy this handicapped event. The weather was just perfect and the humour was likewise.
Team standard mix-in moves into the 21st century
The team-standard mix-in officially starts at 7pm on Thursdays.
Due to the valiant efforts of our IT gurus Andy T and Chris S, you can tell other players that you are going to turn up at the mix-in, and have a peek at who else is coming along to the mix-in before you set off from home!
