Court access

You can use the courts at any time. The courts are locked with a combination code which will be supplied to you via email. Inside the courts you’ll have access to balls and the necessary tools to tighten the nets if need be. These are in the white box in the seated area at the court’s entrance. You’re welcome to bring friends and family to the courts, just please ensure you are present to open and lock up the courts and keep the code to yourself please, it is not for sharing outside of the club membership. And parents, please accompany your kids to the courts to ensure they are locked up properly.

Club room access

If you’d like access to the club rooms, you can purchase a key for $25. This gives access to the toilets, kitchen, and we’ve set up a table tennis table, TV and DVD player with a growing DVD library to keep the kids occupied while parents have a hit. This can also be used for kids during club days as the clubrooms will be open.
