The club was formed in 1988 without courts on land donated by the late Jack Adams, resident and benefactor of Coleshill. The original committee was Chris and David George, Sharon and David Hall, Lindsey Eardley, Dumpy Swerling, Helen Spencer and Barry Collins.
The two courts were laid in 1994 and in 2003.
The club now has a thriving membership of over 130.
Situated opposite the Cricket ground, with its own entrance from Tower road the club has two excellent condition courts and a clubhouse. There is adequate parking for players.
An active programme of league matches, inter club matches, casual play and Fun Days are organised throughout the year. Coaching is available for all ages and abilities. An active social programme is also arranged.
Club play takes place on Sundays at 10am and additionally on Tuesday evenings at 6pm from April.
The Tennis club membership is available to all residents of Coleshill and the club welcomes players of all abilities.
Coaching is available in private and group lessons from club member and Coleshill resident Alan Lowe. Alan is an LTA Licensed Coach and is contactable on 01494 433779 or 07768 498655

Tennis Club News - Spring 2012
As many of you will know our dedicated and much loved Chairman and Club Coach, Alan Lowe, passed away on Thursday 26th January 2012. Alan was central to the life of the tennis club giving freely of his time for everything - coaching, organising, playing, administration and legal advice. Very rarely do clubs have the benefit and privilege of someone like Alan. He will be sorely missed. There is a further tribute to Alan in the Spring Edition of the village newsletter.
