At Sydney University Lawn Tennis Club, we offer a variety of membership options that cater to everyone's needs.

Casual (Community or USYD*): access to the courts during opening hours (no court bookings required and no booking fee beyond the membership fee). Chance to play member only Club events (e.g. Club Championship, Spring Competition) and join social events.

Badge (Community or USYD*): for those who are selected to represent the Club in Badge. Includes all benefits of a casual membership plus covers team entry fee and new balls for home Badge matches. Try outs are held in February for the teams. If unsure, please purchase a casual membership as there will be an option to upgrade your membership if selected for the team.

Junior: equivalent of a Badge membership for those who are under 18 at the start of the season (1st of February). Please note that parents wanting to use the courts need their own membership.

Social: non-playing membership for those who wish to stay in touch with the Club. Includes voting rights at the AGM, access to social events.

 

*USYD membership is available for current USYD students or staff. Everyone else over 18 is required to purchase the community option.
