Bishop Monkton Tennis Club was set up in 2009 when two courts were built as part of the new Village Hall and Playing Fields development. In 2023, Pickleball was added and the Club was then renamed the Bishop Monkton Tennis and Pickleball Club.

The Club is welcoming, relatively small (40 or so active members) and is always looking to encourage new members from the village and surrounding area. Run by a committee of six, it aims to provide an environment where playing tennis and pickleball is fun, good exercise and has a social as well as a sporting angle.

The Club provides tennis and pickleball facilities all year round. Subject to availability, members are able to use the courts on an ad hoc basis at any time and to play in the regular organised club sessions and competitions if they wish. Details of these sessions are listed below.

Non- Members are welcome to attend any of the organised club sessions for free as an initial taster, allowing them to make a decision as to whether or not to take out membership. The club needs to generate a surplus every year in order to maintain and improve the courts-hence the need for a small annual membership fee.

Access to the tennis court is via a key that will be provided on payment of membership fees and is subject to a £5 returnable deposit.
