The Tennis Club runs teams across the age groups, with coaching sessions and matches being held on the school hard courts, the MUSA, and the courts at Tilsley Park. Each age group has a significant number of coaching sessions per week in the Michaelmas and Lent Terms if they would like it and in the Summer Term tennis is offered as a core sport option for all Middle and Upper School boys. All sessions are with Martin Butler, our tennis professional, and academic staff.

We hold block fixtures on Saturdays in the Summer Term and this can often see 60-70 boys out playing tennis. Parents are warmly invited to attend fixtures, which are well supported, and this invitation comes with the added bonus of a match tea. We also have a number of fixtures during the week and these are mostly part of national competitions. The Club takes part in the Independent Schools League, Oxfordshire Independent Schools Competition, the Aegon Cup and the Independent Schools Tennis Association Tournaments held at Eton at the end of the Summer Term. There have been a number of unbeaten teams over the last few years and many players go on to gain county and even National honours.

All players in the club are eligible to sign up for a free British Tennis Membership, offering them a rating, free entry to the Wimbledon ticket ballot and other LTA membership offers.
