Clifton Creek Tennis Club

Hard work from our members to dismantle and recycle the old artifical grass surfaces of courts 1 & 2 was all done by the end of 2020 which was a year many of us will remember clearly for the impacts of widespread bushfires and covid pandemic restrictions. 

We are excited to have our new surfaces all complete. We invite players of all ages and abilities to come and have a hit, a laugh and a breath of fresh air in our idyllic rural setting, only 20 minutes on sealed road from Bairnsdale in East Gippsland. 

Join us for our First Sunday social sessions from 9.30am every month which include a shared morning tea of renowned country hospitality at the conclusion of play.   

Coaching sessions started in 2021 and for almost 4 years coaching was free to all participants thanks to a grant from Vinnies and huge support from East Gippsland Community Foundation.

In 2025, our coaching program has been tweaked to include six sessions each in Terms 2 and 3  on Sundays from 11am when adults of all skill levels enjoy tuition, cardio and fun for an hour with professional coach Mike Spruzen, and then it's the little tackers intro to tennis for 15 minutes,  Kids from 5-8 8yo follow for half an hour and then the big kids (over 8yrs) for 3/4 hr.  Our coaching program with Mike is now covered by modest fees for each participant. 

At the moment you can book a court online for NO COST and do your own thing.  We encourage everyone to use the online booking simply so we can avoid doubling up on times when people would like to play  Making an online booking COSTS nothing but ensures our club has a record of usage which will be handy for keeping track of usage and for future funding applications.

Our small rural club endures as a viable supportive group and continues in its role of looking after the interests of its members as well as inclusively embracing the community in the recreational use of its facilities.
