Partnered with Portsmouth Tennis Academy, the club has access to excellent facilities and tennis coaches

The University of Portsmouth Tennis Club benefits from a partnership with the Portsmouth Tennis Academy. This allows the club to have access to excellent facilities and qualified tennis coaches. We welcome players of all abilities with options to play in the BUCS leagues, develop as a player with tennis lessons, or participate in recreational sessions.
