Elms Tennis Court

 

A public tennis court situated in the grounds of Faringdon Junior School SN7 8EL.

Family and friends can play for £45 per year which allows unlimited usage (there is also an option to turn up and play casually).  

The court is managed by a group of volunteers on behalf of The Faringdon Town Council. 

It is for the benefit of people in and around Faringdon who wish to play on a casual basis rather than a club commitment (which might also require confidence in playing ability). As Faringdon gets more populated with houses it is good to see that we can still keep our ‘recreational open spaces’ for the general health and well-being of the residents.

We are very much looking forward to ensuring that we can look after the court and attract lots of new players young and old. Come and join us!

If you’d like to play please email: [email protected] or [email protected]

  • The annual fee is £45 which covers the yearly insurance and court maintenance. Payment to ‘Faringdon Elms Tennis Association’ BACS:  Sort code is 30 93 18 Acc no is 00625896. Please use your surname as a reference.
  • A new passcode will be issued on 1st May each year once payment has been made.
  • The passcode can only be given to those who are 18 years of age or over. Younger players must be accompanied by an adult. Please do not share the passcode with others but do encourage them to contact us for subscription details.
  • The court can only be used to play tennis; this is for insurance purposes.
