Elstree Lawn Tennis Club is a very friendly, social club with a relaxed atmosphere. We welcome players of all age groups and abilities.
WELCOME!
We are probably the friendliest and best value club in the area. Elstree offers a full programme of events, both social and tennis related, and new members of all ages are always welcome. We currently run two teams in the Watford & District League, play in the Kenton Winter League and also compete in the Hertfordshire Hot Rackets (summer) League. There are Men's, Women's and Mixed doubles matches.
Whether you are a junior, student or adult wanting to learn how to play tennis, a 'rusty' player or even an experienced player looking for a new club, this site provides details about our facilities and how to join.

​Latest News
Congratulations to everyone who took part in our Finals Day on September 3rd. A lovely day was had by all and the lashings of Pimms seemed to be a hit. The honour boards will be updated as soon as the final delayed match (Men's Vets Doubles) is completed in the near future.
​
Club Shop
Members and friends can now access Team Togs shop to clad themselves out in a variety of club kit and apparel. Ranges available for Men, Ladies and Juniors.

Court availability
In order to be most successful in securing a court at any time, please arrange your private games throughout the day where possible. Members cannot book courts but you can view court bookings so you can estimate how busy the club is at any given time. The booking function is only available to coaches and administrators. All other bookings will not be valid.
​
​
Free Balls
Please note that Wilson club balls should be returned to the clubhouse after play and emptied into the white basket in the hallway. These can then be used again by other members.
PLEASE DO NOT USE "V" BALLS FROM BALL MACHINE BASKETS FOR SOCIAL OR PRIVATE GAMES.
​
To ensure that you have a decent set of balls to play your games, we recommend that you always carry your own tube for when club balls have gone "missing" or have suffered from wet weather.
​
Floodlights
As everyone is aware, the costs for electricity are eye-watering. At the moment we are keeping floodlight usage free to members. Understandably, this might have to change at some stage in the future. If it does, we will of course inform you. In the meantime, please turn off the floodlights as soon as you have finished your game. Please do not leave this for someone else to do later.
​
​​CAN ALL MEMBERS PLEASE CLEAR YOUR RUBBISH FROM THE COURTS WHEN YOU HAVE FINISHED PLAYING. THIS INCLUDES BANANA SKINS!
PLEASE ALSO ENSURE THAT ALL THE GATES ARE LOCKED - ESPECIALLY THE MAIN GATE. SECURITY IS EVERYONE'S RESPONSIBILITY.
DON'T FORGET TO WASH UP ANYTHING YOU USE IN THE CLUBHOUSE TOO.
