The Leigh Tennis Club is situated off Highlands
Boulevard, Leigh-on-Sea. It comprises 3 hard all weather courts with
floodlighting, pavilion and bar. The Club is privately owned and managed by
Anne Louise Wright B Sc. and LTA
licensed coach. Membership is subscription only with a limited facility for
guests. The Club organizes both social and competitive tennis for juniors
and adults, coaching at beginner and intermediate level. Tennis is played
all year round and the coaching season runs from 1st March until December.
Anne is assisted by LTA licensed coach, Graham Palmer.
Children can join the
Coaching School from as young as 5 years of age and progress through the
coaching school to play in the Junior Club as well as have the opportunity
to play in competitions. Anne encourages the Juniors to play with the
Seniors once they have attained a good enough standard.
Our adult section encourages both social and
competitive tennis. Anne will coach adults until they are of an acceptable
standard to join the senior section. There is an annual
tournament open to all members.
Social tennis is played at the weekends and
Wednesday evenings. League matches are usually played in the evenings. There
is a booking system for members to reserve a court to suit themselves.
In addition to tennis, Anne is a personal
fitness trainer and runs General
Fitness Classes at the Club. She is happy to work equally with members
of the public or tennis players keen to improve their fitness. It is not
necessary to be a Tennis Club member to attend the fitness classes.
