A date for your diary. Come along and learn about what Littleover Valley Tennis Club has to offer: good artificial grass courts, lovely open surroundings, coaching for children, social events and opportunities for people of all abilites to enjoy tennis.

We’re fundraising to continue improving facilities at our tennis club – not just for members but for our neighbours in Blagreaves and Littleover. Walking tennis is open for all on Fridays and we’ll be starting a new after-school Tennis Youth Club in May.

Join us for Bingo night on 27th May.

We're excited about the prospect of a spring and summer of enjoyable tennis after having our artificial grass courts cleaned and re-sanded by Gareth and Sara from Clean Courts.

Thanks to our members who donated items to the "Food 4 Thought Alliance," and a special mention to Daina Wellard who organised it all.

Congratulations to our ladies' team who just won promotion from Division Three to Division Two of the Derby Area Tennis League. Terrific achievement!

We celebrate our second summer season since members bought the ground and we became Littleover Valley Tennis Club. Here is an opportunity to celebrate with us, play some tennis and help us raise funds.

What can you do on a bank holiday when the weather looks a bit dodgy?

An evening of social tennis on a sunny evening is such a great pleasure. Courts were full last week as members emerged from their homes for the first Wednesday social of the year. We hope for many more evenings like this.

Every Monday, a group of women from the club enjoy an afternoon of tennis together. This week, they invited some friends from Church Broughton Tennis Club for a tennis and social get together. Gail Bromley said: "It was such a pleasure to share an afternoon of tennis and chat with tennis-playing friends. We enjoyed it so much we plan to do it again sometime soon."

A date for your diaries! Visit our open day to find out about our summer coaching, walking tennis, children’s tennis, tennis youth clubs, social play, local leagues and more.

FIRST TEAM STILL ON THE UP
Our men’s first team goes from strength to strength. This summer they achieved promotion for the second year running in both the Derby and Burton Leagues.

In the Burton League they won Division 3 in 2023, and were runners up this year in Division 2.

In the Derby League they won Division 4 in 2023 and were runners up this year in Division 3.

Next year they’ll be competing in Derby League Division 2 and Burton League Division 1.

Congratulations fellas and good luck for next season (they are practicing already).
