History of the Club
Hythe Lawn Tennis Club is a friendly club situated in the Cinque Port town of Hythe in Kent. The club was formed in 1889 when it was connected to the Hythe Cricket Club. After 57 years, in 1946, the club was separated from the cricket club becoming completely independent.
Rumour has it that Hythe Lawn Tennis Club is one of the oldest tennis clubs in the world!
The club is situated along a towpath adjacent to the famous Royal Military Canal and has been here for over 120 years.
Match Play
The club enters teams in many leagues across the county, this includes Men's, Ladies, Mixed teams. The teams are put into East Kent, Kent, Ashford and Dover and District leagues. To find out how the club is getting on, go to the match pages.
Social Events
There are many social events throughout the year. These include a number of activities such as Quiz Nights, cycle rides and barbeques. There are also social tournaments held every year such as two generation tournaments and Men's and Ladies Days. A list of these events and dates on which they are held are found in the clubhouse on the notice board and in the What's On section of the website!
Social Tennis
Senior Members and Juniors with Senior Status, are encouraged to attend Mix-In sessions. These are where a player of any standard is invited down to the club to socialize and play tennis the way it should be played...by having fun! The Mix-In sessions are held on Wednesday evenings and on Saturday afternoons. On a typical July Saturday afternoon, the club is thriving with friendly club players who enjoy all aspects of tennis. On a Wednesday evening in the Winter, floodlighting is provided for free
Coaching
The club has its very own coaching scheme in place. These are run independently by Nick Skelton who is a LTA Licensed Tennis Coach! We do have other qualified coaches, so for more information about coaching, and the other qualified coaches, and qualified young TA's, please visit the Coaching page.
We also encourage our Juniors when reaching a certain level of play to join the social mix-ins as juniors with senior status as recommended and given by the coach and committee
