Courts Closed Until 3rd December
Unfortunately the Government have confirmed that Tennis Clubs must remain closed during the second lockdown. Although at odds with the rules on two people and households meeting outside, it is clear that the advice is to minimise as much social contact as possible whilst trying to balance work, education and mental health.
At the moment courts will reopen on 3rd December and bookings will be reopened on ClubSpark on 19th November. The LTA will continue to lobby government on the current rules and avoiding a further extension of the closure of tennis clubs.
Stay safe
