Adult members of all levels have a variety of opportunities to play socially or competitively. We offer organised social several times/week and family social on Friday evenings; evening and weekend pennants teams; annual club championships and social tournaments; and top-quality coaching on site.
Members are also free to organise their own play any time the courts are open. You can use our court booking system to guarantee a court.
The club is open for family tennis and socialising on Friday evenings from 3.45pm. We encourage family members and other adult/junior members to drop in and mingle either on or off the court.
Non-members are welcome to play FREE when accompanied by a member.
Adults and juniors of all levels can have a hit together, while non players can relax and have a drink and/or a picnic on the veranda. The barbeque is available for use; BYO food and drinks or get together with others and organise a takeaway.
Tennis Factory runs coaching for kids and Cardio Tennis for adults. See tennisfactory.com.au for full schedule and prices.
For more information, please contact our committee member for juniors, Stephen Harris.
The club enters men's, ladies' and mixed teams in summer and winter Pennants (Tennis West League). There are evening and weekend competitions, some doubles-only and some singles and doubles, including the shorter Fast4 format. Our teams range from Division 1 to lower, more social, divisions so you don't have to be an advanced level player to enjoy some friendly competition and post-match cameraderie.
Teams of three to six players usually play on a rotation basis with one or two additional players to provide cover over the season. Whilst the number of teams is fixed once the season starts, injuries, holidays and work commitments mean that we can often find games for additional players who are interested in trying out these formats and testing their skills against other clubs.
The summer season runs from October to March with a long break over the summer holidays. The winter season starts in May and runs through to August, with a break over the July school holidays.
If you'd like to participate or have any questions, please contact our Competitive Captain, Ian Singleton.
Our annual Club Championships are open to full-year adult members and include Open and Division One sections. The Championships usually run across the weekends of late March through April/May.
A number of weekend tournaments are held throughout the year catering to all standards of play. Events include singles, doubles and mixed doubles, round robin and handicap events. Keep an eye on our calendar and notifications in our Deuce newsletter.
OPTC makes visits to and hosts visits from other metropolitan clubs throughout the year for a friendly challenge, and small groups of members often participate in country tournaments.
For more information read the regular Deuce newsletter, look out for emails and keep an eye on updates to our calendar.
Tennis Factory offers a range of top-quality programs for members and non-members at OPTC including group lessons, private lessons and Cardio Tennis. For more information, visit tennisfactory.com.au.
