Tennis Squash and Hockey Club

Overview of Club Sports options and facility

Our membership comprises both those with serious team-playing abilities as well as the less

ambitious who play for the fun of it and the exercise.

6 all-weather floodlit courts
3 mini-tennis courts for the 4 to 8 year olds
2 heated indoor squash courts
Professional Coaches and excellent training programmes in all three sports
Licensed lounge overlooking tennis courts
Large clubroom with darts, table-tennis, pool table and TV
Lively Social Scene with regular quiz nights, Discos, Club events and televised major sporting events
Giffnock is an Accredited LTA Coaching Programme Club and Accredited National mini-tennis Club
New adult members also benefit from a free introductory course in the sport(s) of their choice

Tennis:

If tennis is your interest and you are an adult, then we can make you welcome on our Club nights (Thursday and Sunday)

which run every week throughout the year. All you need to do is turn up – partners and opposition are provided.

Squash:

Similarly there are seasonal Sunday Club nights for Squash players, as well as a Mini-league system, to provide you with

opponents of a similar standard, with match times arranged to suit you. Also regular Saturday afternoon tournaments are organised.

Hockey:

Our active hockey section runs a considerable number of senior teams, as well as numerous enjoyable club events.

Home matches are played on near by pitches.

We employ a number of professional coaches and they, and their assistants provide training and coaching programmes

in all three sports.

One-one coaching for tennis and squash is offered on a fee paying basis.

A separate leaflet is provided with this pack giving details of membership grades and current subscription level.

Please note that a person joining part way through the club year (April-March) is only liable to pay for the balance of that year.

By arrangement, payments can be made by monthly standing order.
