 Inspired by Wimbledon? 

UEA Tennis is a friendly club with a mixture of social and team players. We welcome beginners through to advanced players. The club has 6 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 that regularly play against other universities. Our captains regularly deliver coaching at training sessions and there is the opportunity for members to gain their own experience in coaching too.
