Princes Hill Tennis Club

While we endured the toughness of lockdown, we decided we needed to give the Princes Hill Tennis Club family something to look forward to on returning to the courts.

And here they are… Our brand-new synthetic grass courts!! They are a mix of a beautiful red and green colour. They are soft on the knees, while still playing at a speed that will get you moving. We’ve also updated our nets and net poles to ensure all members get the highest quality tennis court. Enjoy!

Our hardcourts were resurfaced over the school holidays as the first stage of our court refurbishment process. They are now a beautiful two-tone green, chosen to be sympathetic to our surrounds. We have new nets, new net posts, and the courts are beautiful to play on. We even arranged for the Council to trim the trees around the lights for full after-dark illumination.

The courts are available for booking now.

Our wildly popular Women’s Social program returns every Tuesday evening during term-time. Women’s Social is a weekly program for women to have a regular hit with great people in a fun, supportive, and social environment at one of Melbourne’s most beautiful tennis clubs.

Our best coaches will take you through a lively hour of skills, drills, matchplay and fitness work, followed by a catchup in the Clubhouse. Get fit, have a hit, and get to know other people you can play with in the future.

$15 members, $20 non-members. All welcome. Contact Christian on 0478 052 932 or info@btpt.com.au to sign up or for more info.

It was a great season for PHTC in the popular NSNTA competition, which gives members the chance to catch up with teammates and test skills against well-matched opponents. Our mixed doubles team and two of the men’s teams made the finals of the spring season, and the icing on the cake was a victory for our men’s B Grade side, who defeated Oak Park in the final. The autumn season begins the first week of February, see more details about the competition and how to join, contact our Competition Co-Ordinator Sandy Hopper on 0417 177 767‬ or sandyhopper7@gmail.com.

Princes Hill Tennis Club is launching a new, commitment-free tennis program for adults, no experience necessary.

Open Court Sessions is a new Monday night social event that is open to everyone, celebrating tennis through fresh, new game formats in an accommodating and commitment free environment.

The 90 minute session will have you enjoying casual tennis in a relaxed format. The evening is made up of two parts; 30 minutes off-court with food and drinks, and 60 minutes on-court time for swinging, slamming and smiling, with a great soundtrack pumping through the evening.

Open Court Sessions is for anyone who has ever thought ‘I love tennis, I used to play’ or ‘I want to play tennis again, I just don’t have anyone to play with’. It’s a solution that allows for all styles of play. For every level, for every age, for every person. If you’re an ex-tennis player keen to pick up a racquet again, Open Court Sessions provides a fun option to get back into the sport where the social side is just as important as the on court activities. And if you don’t have gear or equipment, no worries. We’ll provide racquets and balls, and the first Open Court Sessions event will include spot prizes for players who are getting sporty and social.

Open Court Sessions will be running every week on Mondays in February and March at Princes Hill Tennis Club. So book now! It’s time to get your racquet on. Make a racket, have some fun – it’s tennis time.

Week 1: Monday, 3 February. Then every Monday to 23 March.
Time: 7.00-8.30
Cost: $20/session

PHTC Member Florian Kostov did the Club proud as a member of the North Suburban Junior Tennis Association team that took out the Frank Sedgman Cup in Traralgon last weekend.

More than 60 of Victoria’s top players aged 11 and under took part in one of Tennis Victoria’s flagship events, where the NSJTA team defeated North Eastern Junior Tennis Association in the final.

Congratulations Florian!

Our Family Day is on this coming Sunday – 18 November. There is a full board of free lessons and clinics for all ages, as well as plenty of food, drink, and giveaways. All welcome, so bring down that friend who’s always talking about getting into tennis and introduce them to the wonder of Princes Hill TC.

10-1 on Sunday.

See you there!

Our wildly popular Women’s Social program returns for Term 4. Women’s Social is a weekly program for women to have a regular hit with great people in a fun, supportive, and social environment at one of Melbourne’s most beautiful tennis clubs. Our best coaches, including the newly-arrived Samantha and Mel, will take you through a lively hour of skills, drills, matchplay and fitness work, followed by drinks and nibbles in the Clubhouse. Get fit, have a hit, and get to know other people you can play with in the future. All ages and abilities catered for, and we’ll even sort you out with a racquet if you need one.

Tuesdays at 7.30pm starting 16 October and running for 8 weeks.
$88 members
$120 non-members (Hint: it’s almost cheaper to join the club and pay the member price – and then you get free courts at other times).

Sign up with Calan McCarthy on 0423 772 960 or via email.

By popular demand, we are starting a weekly member night. Mondays will be set aside for members to have a social hit and maybe a drink in the Clubhouse afterwards. Initially we’ll start it on the en-tout-cas courts for a couple of hours, but there is definite scope to expand if there is greater demand.

Starting Monday 8 October, 7-9pm. All welcome. Men, women, all standards – you’ll find someone to hit with. BYO drinks or whatever for afterwards.

No need to register, but it would be very helpful if you could just drop the Club an email if you’re interested so we can get an idea of numbers.
