Welcome to the University of Plymouth Tennis Club (UPTC)

The University of Plymouth Tennis Club welcomes players of all abilities, whether you are a first time player with no previous experience or a player with plenty of match experience. UPTC offers a tremendous amount of opportunities for all our members, so be sure to join one of the most exciting, family-like clubs on campus!

Our typical UPTC schedule is as follows:

Monday: 1st Team Training
Tuesday: 2nd Team Training
Wednesday: Social Play (12:00-16:00) + Social
Thursday: Padel Tennis (Evening)
Friday: Possible Social
Saturday: 1st Team Training
Sunday: Social Play (12:00-16:00)

Social Play

Social play is open to all members of any ability, doesn't matter if you've never picked up a racket or been playing for years. There will always be someone at social play that can help you improve and develop your game. If you don't own a racket someone will always be on hand to lend you one. These sessions are a perfect opportunity for new members to socialise and get to know other members within the club!

If you wish to, members of social play also have opportunities to compete against one another in organised tournaments as well as friendly matches, which can help you develop your skills and leads to a nice, social day!

Padel Tennis

Every Thursday, from 6-8pm, we hold Padel Tennis sessions up at Marjon's sports centre! Padel is a new and upcoming sport that is super sociable and enjoyed by everyone – even if your brand new to it! We usually have some people offering lifts, or will have a committee member leading a group up on the bus.

We are also excited to announce we have opportunities to be picked to play competitive padel, whether that be the yearly varsity against Marjon, or inter-university fixtures which is new for this year! If you have any questions about how to get involved, don't hesitate to give us a message on our Instagram page @uptc_

Teams

UPTC has both men’s and ladies first teams that compete in BUCS (British Universities & Colleges Sport). Both the 1st teams train together on Mondays and Saturdays and have previously done well in all their leagues. We also have opportunities for teams to compete to local leagues, as well as team trips away to compete at high standards and fun away days.

Themed Socials

Usually on a Wednesday night, we have a themed social, where we dress up in wacky and fun outfits and bar hop our way around town! Its a great way to meet new people and socialise as a group! Our social secs have always got a fun-filled (sometimes chaotic) night out planned and make sure everyone is involved whether they are freshies or oldies!

We also host a variety of non-night out related social events throughout the year such as bowling nights, curry nights, match days, quiz nights and much more!

Other events

We also run other special events throughout the year where every club member is more than welcome to participate, such as:
