SERVING SUCCESS
Leeds Beckett boasts one of the top university tennis programmes in the UK. With 13 teams and two development squads the tennis club are regularly the highest BUCS points-earning programme in the university. Both our Men’s and Women’s 1st teams compete in the highest university league possible.
We have eight courts you'll have access to, including four indoor acrylic courts. The centre provides opportunities for players of all levels, from those first picking up a racket to those participating at a national and international level. We believe that tennis can be for everyone, and we hope that as a part of our club we can provide you with an opportunity to have amazing experience and gain valuable skills on or off the court.
