Welcome to our club website.
We hope that potential, new and existing members will find it a great resource.
SPTC is a long-established, successful tennis club, based at the Sports Centre on Filey Road. We are affiliated to the LTA and have ClubMark accreditation. Our summer programme is strong, with twice weekly club nights and a range of teams playing in the Yorkshire, Driffield and Scarborough leagues. In recent years we have built an active and popular winter programme at the indoor tennis centre at Pindar. In 2011 the goal is to develop the junior programme following the introduction of two exciting junior packages. Full details of all the above are available on the club information page and other updates will appear in the latest news section but please don't hesitate to contact the relevant member of the management team if you require further information or would like to join us! We look forward to seeing you at a club night this winter.... PS Anyone joining SPTC now will have this winter free and the new membership package will last until March 2013 |

11 November 2011 LTA ALLPLAYTENNIS.COM News from Club Coach Ben Atkinson about a new LTA initiative called All Play. the idea behind the site is that it allows members to find a place to play, find players of a suitable level to play with and track and share results. There is also a points system, linked to the amount of games played. Sounds like a great idea - plus, it's FREE to sign up. It would be great to get all of our members signed up - we already have some people registered. Find the link at http://www.lta.org.uk/allplaytennis/
10 November 2011 SPTC/ FILEY ROTARY CLUB UKEWERE APPEAL - USED TENNIS BALLS/RACQUETS Ukewere is an island community of 350,000 people situated in the middle of Lake Victria in Tanzania. Filey Rotary Club are looking to collect used sports equipment to transport to the children there in February. The children have little or no facilities for sport and many have been abandoned or orphaned. Children's clothes would therefore also be greatly appreciated.

19 September 2011 CLUB TOURNAMENT 2011 RESULTS AND REPORT
The Club held the 2011 Tournament finals at Wrench Green in Hackness. A winning combination of good tennis, barbecue, fine weather and the country setting (as well as an extremely interested herd of cattle!) made for a very enjoyable day for players and spectators alike. The Juniors started the day, with James Marsden playing with great consistency, beating Ben Hartley 8 games to 5 to lift the trophy for the first time. In the mens' section, the younger William Reay was too strong for the veteran Jim Mellor, winning in style by 8 games to 2. The Mens' Doubles was a heavily contested match which looked like going either way at times, but Mellor and Dave Thompson were the eventual victors over Brian Edwards and Roger Amstell 8 - 6. In the womens' section, Hazel Cross proved too strong a competitor for the much younger Fiona Pollin, but Pollin was successful with Doubles partner Lynn Day, beating Cross and Judy Milburn 8 - 6, having at one point trailed 5 - 2. The Mixed event was won by Day and Mellor, convincingly beating Cross and Edwards by 8 games to 4.
