YELVERTON TENNIS CLUB

Welcome to Yelverton Tennis Club

Yelverton Tennis Club was founded in 1984 and is situated in a rural setting on the edge of Dartmoor in Meavy Lane, Yelverton.   The land for the courts was made available by the Yelverton War Memorial Recreation Field and Village Hall Charitable Trust who owns it. Yelverton Tennis Club pay an annual rent to the Trust, but the club pays for all the court maintenance. Originally 2 courts were built, but since then a further court has been built and a club house.

We now have 3 hard courts, 2 with flood lights. The funding for that was obtained by fund raising and success in applying for grants. We also have a ball machine which can be used by members and is also a training aid for our coach.

Our membership year runs from 1 April to the 31 March.
The cost for the use of the floodlights is included in the annual subscription.
Courts must be booked before playing. Members must register with Skedda, the court booking system used by the club, when they join the club and booking a court, once you’ve registered, is no problem. Should you have any problems, then Chris Webber is the man to contact (christof.webber@outlook.com) or 07771 792 325
You can play at any time, but league matches and tournaments have priority.
Parking for the courts is on the field. Access is through a gate in Meavy Lane.
