PLEASE NOTE
It is a condition of club membership that members register on this website and thus explicitly accept the club’s guidelines, its child safeguarding policy, and its privacy and data protection policies.
The Club’s official tennis coach is Tim Clarke (see section on coaching), who is certified by Tennis Ireland. No other coaching should take place on the Club’s premises without the Club’s prior written approval. Furthermore, any coaching or supervision of activities involving children (<18) on the Club’s premises is strictly prohibited without the Club’s prior written approval and would require, at a minimum, a Tennis Ireland Level 1 Coaching qualification including vetting through An Garda Síochána’s National Vetting Bureau, and appropriate personal references. There can be no exceptions to these requirements.
Only members who have registered on this website and paid their annual membership fee are allowed access to the courts for play, except for schools and local community groups by prior arrangement. If a member brings a non-member visitor to play with them then the visitor fee must be paid in advance on the day of play (see link at bottom of Membership page).
Courts can be booked in advance on the website using the login details obtained during the registration process.
All players should ensure Carrick-on-Shannon Tennis Club has their up-to-date contact details (phone and e-mail).
Please ensure the gate is locked after play and in the spirit of fairness do not give the code to any non-members.
