The Tennis Club are looking to make big changes this year as they begin a new season having seen most of their first team graduate last year.

In a testament to the success of the club, a second mens team is being introduced into the BUCS leagues and a new committee is being built from scratch.

The club signed up more members then ever before at Freshers' Fayre, and the increased interest is forcing them to implement new sessions, from pay and play beginner coaching, which they are looking to introduce before Christmas, and the option of training with the Academy during the day at Portsmouth tennis club.

For those interested in coaching opportunities they are also looking to join forces with the UP For Sport programme to aid in gaining qualifications and hands on experience, both voluntary and paid.

The women's team are doing equally well, holding their own in the top division in the south east and, with over 100 members, competition for this year's teams has been strong.

As well as progress on the court, the social side of the club has always been important, and they are looking to finish off their season with their biggest tour ever to Salou next April.

Those interested in joining should contact the club President.
