Inspired by Wimbledon?

UEA tennis is a friendly club with a mixture of social and team players. We welcome beginners through to advanced players - there is the opportunity to have coaching at sessions from our captains! There are also 7 teams (3 BUCS Men's Teams, 1 BUCS Women's team and 2 mixed Sunday local league). With an additional 2 Men's FAST4 and 1 Women's FAST4 team too that regularly play against other universities.

BUCS (British Universities and Colleges Sport) matches are every Wednesday against other universities in our league. We have 4 teams (3 Men's and 1 Women's) in BUCS.
Our mixed teams are entered into a Sunday local league to allow everyone to get a chance to play competitive tennis.
There are also Team Challenge matches aimed for any level against universities such as Anglia Ruskin, Essex and Hertfordshire.
We also have a new Fast4 inter-university league for people who want to play competitively at a level just below BUCS.
Once a year there is a university-wide Sports Competition against Essex University called Derby Day where we have both a Women's and Men's team.
