For most new members, it's a daunting step to join a new club, let alone actually turning up and playing.
We're here to make that easy. AECC has to be the most social sports club around. So, our job is easy:
- we have 2 club coaches (see below and on coaching page), who provide a wide and varied coaching programme for all ages and standards
- all new senior members can come to the free "Rusty Corner" coaching sessions
- from there we have club afternoons and evenings where club members turn up and play
together.... and then we have the excellent team tennis
- there's a great junior section: lots of coaching and team matches available - again, for all standards of player
All you have to do is come with your racket!
If you're worried because you've not played for a while.. then we offer free coaching during the summer months, ease yourself in slowly with our "Rusty Corner" sessions:
"Rusty Corner" - Saturdays 2.00 - 3.00 pm
What happens if I am a new member?
