Join now

With 800 active members and over 3000 followers on social media (2024), UCL Tennis Club is the biggest sports club at UCL and one of the largest across the country. 

We have a range of teams welcoming players of all abilities, from highly competitive to never-touched-a-racket-in-my-life players.

Our range of off-court events throughout the year look like:

  • Socials - Always held with a new weekly theme, our socials are held at the Rocket pub (in Euston) every term Wednesday (check the weekly theme on Instagram), followed by Team UCL Sports Night at Scala.
  • Special Events - Held throughout the year, details to be posted on Instagram
  • Team Dinners - Because some of the best team bonding happens over food <3
  • Charity Events - Bringing the club together while supporting great causes.
  • Inter-university Events - On and off the court!
  • Balls - The black-tie kind, not the on-court ones ;)
  • Varsity - A highlight of the UCL Tennis calendar. Come support us as we bring the trophy back where it belongs.

All are held throughout the year along with our training sessions, so there is something for everyone!

Now that we've convinced you to (at the very minimum) attend our off-court events, here are our on-court teams and communities, places are open to all!
