benefits of membership

Tennis Valley is a modern, progressive club that embraces tradition but moves with the times. We realise that most people these days are ‘time poor’ and have therefore implemented flexible membership categories to suit all situations.

 For example, while our annual fee remains the most cost effective option for those who play frequently and maximise their membership, we have brought in a new ‘pay by the month’ trial for those considering full membership… so they can make sure the club suits their lifestyle before signing up for a full year.

Each category has its own list of benefits, but as an overall snapshot, when you join the club you can take advantage of:

• 10 synthetic grass courts (incl. two slower red courts imitating clay)
• Overhead lights on every court for night play
• Shaded outdoor viewing areas to sit and watch the tennis
• Weekend competitions – Saturday and Sunday
• Night competitions 4 nights per week
• Organised Sunday social tennis every week
• Annual Club Championships for all playing standards and ages – from juniors to vets.
• Clubhouse facilities including:
  • fully licensed bar
  • hot food and coffee
  • men’s and ladies showers and change rooms
  • lounge area and pool table
• Coaching from qualified professionals with special rates for members
• Pro. shop for restrings, new gear, balls, etc.
• Family area with kids’ cubbyhouse and playground
• Regular members and friends BBQs
• Regular social functions (parties, Family Days, ‘chicken comps.’, trivia nights, charity fundraisers, etc.)
• Ample car parking

Tennis Valley wins Ladies Badge Club of the Year… again!

For the sixth year in succession, Tennis New South Wales has again pronounced Tennis Valley the Ladies Badge Club of the Year!

 With teams entered in 5 divisions, we returned the outstanding results of two winning teams, one runner-up and two teams who finished just outside the semis.

Congratulations to our awesome teams in Division 1.1 and 1.2, neither of whom was ever threatened for the title. Our top team, captained by our Ladies Badge Captain, Sue Deller featured the big guns in their 5-2 Final win over Parklands 1… Nicole Nissen, Bree Calderwood, Lucia Gonzalez and Stephanie Bengstrom. The team was simply unstoppable.

The 1.2 team captained by Elise Taylor and featuring Stephanie Asprey, Tracey Garrett, Simone Massie, Robyn Rickard and Kaye Nealon were under-graded. They should have been competing in the top grade but instead, simply coasted through the comp. without ever being challenged… in fact Tracey never lost a set until the Final, which the team won 5-2 against Royal Sydney!

We had a second team in 1.2. that contained players of the future in Alix Ho (16) and Rebecca Jones (14). While not finishing in the money, they were competitive against most teams in the grade and the teenagers are definitely better players for the experience.

Our 1.3 ladies made a late run and only just missed out on a semi-final berth and our 1.4 team were also unlucky to finish just outside the top four. In Div 2.2, Louise Dortman’s team (Louise, Penny Reid, Celine Paillart, Joanne Pickhaver, Corinne Court, Serena Potts and Jane Conner) played gallantly all comp. gutsing out an incredibly tight semi-final win against Neutral Bay before falling in the Final to Beecroft.

Congratulations to all our ladies on a sensational effort once more. Tennis Valley’s reputation continues to be enhanced by your efforts.
