Play Tennis
However and whenever you like to play tennis – socially, competitively, regularly, occasionally – there's a range of options for you at Collaroy.
PLAY TENNIS YOUR WAY
If you just want to have an occasional or more regular hit with a friend or group of friends, you can hire a court outside coaching and member-only playing times. Book online to check court availability and hire rates and reserve a time to suit your schedule (BYO racquets and balls.) If you’re interested in trying Cardio Tennis or would like some coaching to improve your game, contact our partner, Evolve Tennis Academy.
SOCIAL TENNIS FOR MEMBERS
As a member, you can play during any of the Club’s organised social playing times. Please note that all games are doubles play.

MENTORING FOR MEMBERS
Some Club Members who have decades of experience playing comp. tennis at a high level have volunteered, when available, to watch your social sets and offer the occasional friendly tip to improve your game. That might refer to (e.g.) court positioning, tactics, or other areas of the game. The vibe will always be focused on fun… this is NOT a coaching session – just a friendly ‘value add’ to your Sunday game, on request.
COMPETITION TENNIS
As a Club Member, you can nominate to play in several competitions for which Collaroy enters teams year round. If you’re interested, please get in touch with our Club Captain.
-
Mid-Week Night Competitions (Men’s, Ladies, Mixed) organised by Tennis Northern Beaches

WEEKEND TOURNAMENTS AWAY
Members regularly travel away as a group to play weekend tournaments in regional centres throughout the State run by Tennis Seniors NSW. (Note: if you’re over 30, you are eligible to play in these tournaments!) These are fun, friendly and well organised events with an equal emphasis on competition and the social side of tennis. Tournaments are held year-round in beautiful locations from the South to the Central Coast, to Gloucester, Forster and Nelson Bay. Check out the Tournament Calendar.
SPECIAL EVENTS
Collaroy is famous for both its member-only and wider community events. These include Grand Slam Socials with prizes for 'Best Dressed', Inter-Club Challenge Days for Adults and Juniors, Community Open Days and major events celebrating inclusion, such as AO Pride Night and Sydney WorldPride Day. The latter have attracted big crowds, celebrities and top players. The atmosphere is always welcoming and the emphasis is on FUN.
