Welcome to Aston University Tennis Society
Aston University Tennis Society is the home of student tennis at Aston. Whether you’re completely new to the sport or an experienced player, our sessions are designed to be welcoming, social, and well-structured.
Play. Improve. Compete. Socialise.
We offer regular tennis sessions each week alongside a strong social atmosphere, giving members the chance to stay active, improve their game, and meet new people.
Open to All Levels
All abilities are welcome — from beginners picking up a racket for the first time to advanced players looking for competitive match play.
