Members club & academy

Eleven courts of championship blue.

The Verdon has taught patience, footwork and good manners since 1927. Come for the tennis; stay for the long shadows over court four at seven in the evening.

Programs

A place in the schedule for every game

From first rallies to national ladders — three tracks, one standard of coaching.

Juniors · 5–17

The Academy

Small-group pathways from red ball to full court, built around school terms. Every junior is video-reviewed twice a term — kindly.

Mon–Sat · 6 age bands · waitlist open
Adults · all levels

Club Play

Coached clinics, box leagues and Friday social doubles with the lights on late. Rusty is a level here, not a judgment.

7 days · drop-in friendly · ball machine hours
Performance

The Ladder

Invitation squad for county and national competitors. Strength block, match play, travel calendar and a coach who has seen your backhand before you show it.

By assessment · 18 places · Sept intake
Coaching

Taught by people who still compete

Fourteen resident coaches, every one of them a current or former tour, county or college player. Lessons are booked by name, not by slot — you keep your coach for the season.

Private lessons include written notes within 24 hours and a shared clip library, so Tuesday's correction survives until Thursday.
