Frozen Courts Playing Policy

All members are respectfully reminded to adhere to the rules of the club during very cold weather.

On courts 4,5 & 6 play is prohibited when ice has formed or is forming on courts. No attempt should be made to clear ice from the surface of the courts, nor any salt or other thawing agent used. Play can resume on these courts when thawed. This policy is to protect our courts in the long term and is the professional advice of Leisure Tec, the company who installed these new surfaces on 4,5 & 6.

On the new front hard courts 1,2 & 3, members are asked to use common sense and not attempt to play on any surface that presents a risk to personal safety.

If any member requires further clarification of this notice, please contact the tennis committee.

Reminder that this very enjoyable league starts again on Friday 1st November at 7pm.

Turn up and play doubles sets with random (and different) partners each set. Your 3 best results on the night are recorded and converted to league points.

Last year, around 500 sets of tennis were played during the league and everyone who joined in had a great time. This will suit all players of all standards. Come along and join the fun!

Charity Tennis Balls

We been contacted by a volunteer with the charity Mary's Meals. They are collecting used tennis balls that can be sent out to developing countries such as Malawi and Liberia as part of the bagpack project.

He points out that, "These balls may be of little value here in Scotland - however, as they’re likely to be the only “toy” some children get this Christmas, they will be very welcome out there!"

The Committee have agreed to support this initiative and suggest any unwanted tennis balls are brought to the Club over the next week and deposited in a box located in the junior room. Many thanks in advance.

Judy Murray & Leon Smith to Officially Open Clarkston's New Courts

We are delighted to announce that our new front courts will be officially opened by Judy Murray (GB Fed Cup Team Captain) and Leon Smith (GB Davis Cup Team Captain) on Sunday 10th November @1pm. 

Judy and Leon have been able to take time out of their busy schedules to celebrate this exciting new development with us. Leon is a former member of Clarkston, winning the Gent's Club Championship in 1991 and 1993.

Judy and Leon have consistently demonstrated their committed to the development of junior tennis and recognise how important our new courts will be for us to do this at Clarkston. Judy and Leon will be showcasing a junior tennis clinic, hosting a question and answer session,  and taking time to pose for photographs.

Following these events everyone is invited to stay for social tennis play which will conclude our official court opening afternoon.

Looking forward to having a massive turnout to welcome Judy and Leon. See you all there.
