Tennis Shoes

We require that all members, guests and players wear real tennis shoes to diminish the risk of injury. Tennis shoes are designed to provide grip, cushioning and stability during complex dynamic movements on the court. The specificity of a tennis shoe’s outsole is that the recesses and solid areas are distributed to minimise pressures, providing better adhesion and lower wear adhesion respectively. Furthermore, we reserve the right not to allow a member or guest to access the playing area if that person is not wearing proper tennis or pickleball shoes. LEARN MORE
