Try Before You Commit – Free Trial Hit

Racket Hire
Don’t have a racket? Rackets are available for hire at $5 per person (subject to availability).
Attendance & Recognition
We value consistent participation and positive club culture. Attendance is tracked, and at the end of each semester, members with strong attendance and contribution may be recognised through prizes, shout-outs, and club acknowledgements.
Seasonal Play: Where & When We Hit
AUTC operates year-round, with programming that shifts between summer and winter to make best use of available courts and seasonal conditions. Session days and times are confirmed each semester based on the majority availability of students.
Summer Season (October – April)
AUTC operates across both lawn and hard courts to maximise access and variety in playing conditions.
-
Primary venues: Park 10 (lawn) and Adelaide High School hard courts (hard)
-
Social tennis: Two sessions per week (2 hours per session)
Summer provides strong opportunities for regular play, skill development, and club competition activity.
Winter Season (May – September)
During winter, the club operates primarily on hard courts, supporting consistent sessions through the cooler months.
-
Primary venue: Adelaide High School hard courts
-
Social tennis: One extended session per week (3 hours)
Hard courts provide reliable matchplay conditions and support both social and competition-focused training.
Additional Court Access
The club also has access to courts at the Mawson Lakes campus, supporting additional playing opportunities as scheduling allows.
