To book a court, create your account at: clubspark.kiwi/NgataringaTennisClub & follow prompts to ‘Court Booking’
Juniors can purchase fobs from: clubspark.kiwi/NgataringaTennisClub/Membership/Join
Your fob will give you access to the courts and to the main clubhouse
If you make a night booking, the lights will automatically turn on for the duration of your booking
Important: If you are playing with beginner juniors, we kindly ask that you do not book a court directly next to interclub courts. This is to ensure both the safety of the junior players, and to minimise disruption to our senior players & the club they are hosting.

On the ground floor in the main clubhouse you will find:

Male/female toilets & changing rooms
Our Junior News Board - check here for updates & news!
