Welcome to another great season at Pakuranga Tennis Club!
We're delighted to welcome both new and returning members for another season of tennis, friendship, and fun. Whether you're joining as an individual, a family, or reconnecting with the game, we hope you'll quickly feel part of our club community.
Since 1922, Pakuranga Tennis Club has been bringing people together through tennis. From humble beginnings with just 26 members, we've grown into a vibrant club of nearly 400 members of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities. We're proud to be more than just a tennis club—we're a place where families connect, lifelong friendships are formed, and players support one another both on and off the court.
Our club offers something for everyone, from young children taking their first swing to social players, competitive athletes, and senior members who have been part of our club for many years. We believe tennis is a sport for life, and we're committed to providing a welcoming, inclusive environment where everyone can learn, improve, and enjoy the game together.
This guide will help you discover everything happening this season, including coaching programmes, competitions, social tennis, and family events. We encourage you to take a few minutes to read through it so you and your family can make the most of everything your club has to offer.
We look forward to seeing you on court and being part of your tennis journey.

It's a great way to spend quality time together, practice as a family, and make the most of everything Pakuranga Tennis Club has to offer.
Junior Coaching & Match Play
We love seeing our junior members enjoying their tennis, building confidence, and making new friends along the way. Our weekly group sessions are a great opportunity for children to learn new skills, develop their game, and be part of the Pakuranga Tennis Club community.
One group session is included as part of your membership. Families can choose the session that best suits their child:
- Saturday morning group coaching
- Thursday evening match play (for players who are ready to start playing matches)

We encourage all our junior players to get involved, have fun, and enjoy being part of the Pakuranga Tennis Club family.

Junior Interclub
Once your child has developed the foundations through our Saturday group sessions, we encourage them to consider joining an Interclub team. It’s a great next step to help them continue learning, challenge themselves, and enjoy tennis with their friends.
Registration for the 2026–27 Junior Interclub season is coming soon!
Teams require a minimum of four players and are organised according to age and playing ability, ensuring every player has a positive and supportive competitive experience. Teams may include both boys and girls, and we aim to select squads with enough players to support the team throughout the season, including cover for weeks when some players may be unavailable.
Junior Interclub matches are played at the following times:
- Saturday mornings from 8:30am
- Sunday mornings from 9:00am
Families can choose the day that works best for their schedule and commitments.
For players who are new to competition or just beginning their match play journey, we also offer beginner-friendly Interclub options:
- Saturday afternoons at 12:30pm
- Sunday mornings at 9:00am
A Team Effort
Junior Interclub is made possible through the support of our wonderful families. Parents and caregivers play an important role by helping with transport, supporting team organisation, and encouraging all players throughout the season.
A parent or caregiver must be present at all times during Interclub. We welcome and encourage families to get involved in helping manage teams and creating a positive, enjoyable experience for all our junior players.
Together, we can make Junior Interclub a highlight of the tennis season and a great experience for every child involved.
Court Usage
Our courts are here for all members to enjoy, and we love seeing families and players making the most of their time at Pakuranga Tennis Club.
Junior members are welcome to use the courts whenever there are no organised club activities taking place. During busy periods, particularly after 6:00pm, priority is given to senior members. If all courts are in use, junior players may be asked to kindly wait or rotate off the court to allow senior players an opportunity to play.
