How it works

Our Sunday Social is doubles only. Throughout the day, you'll rotate partners and opponents, giving you the chance to play with lots of different people and meet both new and familiar faces.

Players are welcome to arrive at any time during the session.

As people join and leave throughout the afternoon, the number of matches you play may vary. Some days you'll play more, some days a little less, but there's always plenty of time to relax, grab a coffee, have a chat and enjoy the social atmosphere while waiting for your next match.

All playing levels welcome

Our Sunday Social welcomes players of all levels, from beginners to advanced players.

We group players by ability as much as possible to create enjoyable matches. As a social event, you'll also have opportunities to play with people of different levels throughout the day.

It's a great way to improve your tennis, challenge yourself and meet more members of our community.

Our focus is on fun, inclusion, friendship and good sportsmanship.

Concession pricing is also available.

Pre-registration recommended

Walk-ins are always welcome, but we recommend pre-registering whenever possible.

Pre-registration helps us organise the courts, balance playing levels and provide the best possible experience for everyone.

More than just tennis

Sunday Social is about more than what happens on court.

We provide complimentary coffee, tea and light snacks throughout the afternoon, so there's always an opportunity to take a break, have a chat and get to know other players.

If you'd like to bring along some snacks or something sweet to share with everyone, it's always appreciated โ€” but never expected.

Register for Sunday Social

Registration for each Sunday Social usually opens around Sunday or Monday for the following week.

We recommend registering early to help us plan the day and organise the courts.

Whether you're looking for great tennis, new friends or simply a fun way to spend your Sunday, Tennis Sydney has a place for you.
