The West London Health & Racquets Club boasts fantastic tennis facilities offering you 12 artificial grass courts including 9 brand new Doe Olympus courts (all flood lit).
Tencap - What is it? Tencap is a numbered rating system that is a benchmark as to your playing standard within the club. It starts at a value of 80 (beginner standard) all the way to 0 (tour player). All our sessions, events and competitions are Tencap based guiding you through to a session that best fits your playing standard.
How does it work? If you are a new member, please pop into our pro-shop where the one of our staff will take you through the Tencap registration process. Once you have completed an ‘on-court' (tennis welcome) 30 minute session, the Pro will issue you with a Tencap rating which is an estimation based on your assessment. This is then verified by the Racquets Manager once the details of the assessment are received.
For existing members; if you are already known to the coaching team here at West London, we can then include you onto Tencap system. Alternatively, if we are not aware of your playing standard we can also arrange for you to be assessed in one of our ‘On-Court' 30 minute tennis welcome sessions bookable by email: Tennis.westlondon@virginactive.co.uk
Now you have signed up to Tencap you will be able to view your own "home" page which will show your club Tencap rating. Your rating will change as and when you play matches (privately & in groups / league matches etc). Once you have played around 7 matches your rating should be accurate for both singles & doubles which will then help you to enter the right coaching/playing groups & events as well as find members of the same standard to play tennis with/against.
Another great thing about Tencap is you will be able to view and book into all the club events. We will be using Tencap as the main communication system for our members to keep you up to date with club events, maintenance works, investments, club team results and special events so please continue to log in and regularly look at the home page and news feeds.
Whether you're here to play socially, competitively or if you just haven't played in a while, this is an ideal way to start your tennis journey at Virgin Active West London. If you have any questions, feel free to pop into our pro-shop at the club or do not hesitate to contact the team directly at Tennis.westlondon@virginactive.co.uk
We look forward to seeing you on court soon!
