Princes Hill Tennis Club
For a long time, court hire at PHTC has been the very cheap $20/hr. However our courts are now busier than they have ever been, so we have had to raise this fee to $25/hr in peak times: weeknights 5-10pm and weekends 9am-4pm.
Rest assured we are still some of the cheapest courts around.
We have also reduced the maximum booking time to 60 minutes. This will help relieve congestion on the courts.
PHTC is again very proud to be taking part in the City of Melbourne’s Tennis Week from 6-12 February. We have a lot planned, so please come along and have a hit. Click here for more info.
Congratulations to our C Grade 3 Unisex team who on Saturday registered a crushing 5 sets to 1 victory over Moomba Park to bring the Premiership back to Princes Park. George, Florian, Prithvi and Asha were too good in an occasionally feisty encounter, and it was their determination and relentless pressure as much as their sublime tennis skills that got PHTC over the line. Congratulations George, Florian, Prithvi, Asha, who played on the day, and Xavier, Jude, Luca and Anika who contributed vital wins throughout the season. A very proud day for PHTC.
Our C Grade 3 junior team had a storming win against West Brunswick on Saturday and are into the Grand Final against Moomba Park at Riverside TC this coming Saturday.
Well played George, Florian, Prithvi and Asha for the win on the weekend. And to Xavier, Jude, Luca and Anika – thank you for your support and great tennis throughout the year. Good luck for the Grand Final.
