Play for the Reid Tennis Club

Membership at the Reid club gives you the chance to play in a team-based competition against other clubs. Adult and junior leagues take place throughout the year.  We welcome enquiries from Reid members who wish to enter the competition, either as a group of friends, or as an individual, and we try and will get you into a team. There are many grades; we’ll find one suitable for your level.
