Pickleball
Pickleball is undergoing a trial period at the club.
During this trial period the courts are laid out on tennis court 3 (or 1 if 3 is booked) using tapes for the lines and portable nets.
This equipment plus bats and balls are stored in the clubhouse and are free to use by all tennis members.

Booking a Pickleball court for your own games is via the Court Booking system as normal..
In order to guage the demand for Pickleball as a permanent feature we invite players, tennis and squash, to register their interest in the game:
Winter Indoor Pickleball at AELTC Roehampton
Wind and rain make it impractical to play Pickleball outdoors on a regular basis. Luckily, we’ve found a great option to continue playing through the winter months at the AELTC-Roehampton (formerly The Bank of England Sports Club).
They have an indoor sports hall and lines for four pickleball courts have recently been added to multi-sport markings.
Initially, we have booked a court for 2 hours on Sunday afternoon. We also plan to book 1 hour on Wednesday and Friday mornings.
Depending on sign-up numbers, we can likely add a second court to the booking and/or extend to 2 hours on all days.
Let’s see how it goes.
The mix-in events will be on the website calendar and we will send out a weekly sign up email to interested members.. Both tennis and Squash members are eligible to play.
On sign up there will be a £4 fee per hour to cover the cost of court hire and you must sign up to attend.
