The Hawthorn Tennis Club has re-opened, as of Wednesday 21st October. We are sure you are as excited as us to get back out on the court!
Please see attached some revised FAQ's, however in summary;
Casual play can resume at the Club, as can coaching.
A maximum of 10 players are allowed to be playing at any time (not including coaches).
Singles and doubles play is permissible, provided no more than two households are involved in the doubles grouping.
The court booking spreadsheet has been set up to cater for singles play only. Please contact the club if you are wanting to play doubles, so that we can amend the spreadsheet, in order to ensure a maximum of 10 players only playing at any time.
Sunday Social and all competition play are on hold.
The Clubhouse will remain closed.
All players are to wear masks pre- and post- playing.
Do not come to the Club to play tennis if you are unwell.

Thank you to all members once again for adhering to the above requirements and for your contribution to ensuring that we remain a COVID-free tennis club.

With the Club re-emerging from hibernation, we are very excited to announce the completion of the Courts 1-3 Lighting installation project.
This Club now has all 7 courts lit, perfect timing with the Return to Play announced this week.
The key constraint at the Club over recent times has been court availability on week day evenings, with strong demand for night competition, coaching, and social play at this time. Increasing the number of lit courts from 4 to 7 courts will significantly ease this constraint and further increase the tennis offerings available at the Club.
Thanks to the Victorian Government SRV Community Grants Program for their contribution to 50% of the project cost and to SES Lighting for their ‘no fuss’ installation and a very professional job.
The new lights are a high energy efficiency LED type light, with lighting levels to competition standard whilst also ensuring minimal light spillage to neighboring properties.
