Making a booking

The City Community Tennis online booking system

The City Community Tennis online booking system allows you to book a court, register for an event (a squad, course, camp, social or competition) and make a payment to City Community Tennis via the web site at any time.

Your City Community Tennis Profile

We keep a profile for everyone who uses our online booking system. Nothing too personal... just your name, email, phone number and postcode. Please check our Security and Privacy Statement for more information on how we protect your information. Anyone can create a profile - you do not need to be a City Community Tennis member.

Updating your profile

  • You can update your email address, phone number from the Update Profile page

Membership

  • You can purchase a City Community Tennis membership online. For more information about the benefits of becoming a member and the costs, have a look at the Membership page

Create a Player Profile

When you try to make a booking and you don't have a player profile with City Community Tennis select > I am a new customer and wish to create a profile  or you can simply click sign up in the footer of the web page.

Tips for creating a player profile:

  • You may receive an error message when creating a profile. This is because there is another player with the same name such as Bill Smith. To get around this do the following for the first name:
    use your first name initial B; or First name with middle name initial Bill W; or first and middle names Bill William.
  • Use your full surname even if you have a double barrelled surname such as Taylor-Smith
  • Use your personal email address, this is where we send your receipts and send updates if you become a member. Avoid using work email or email addresses you never use
  • Use your mobile number. We send updates using sms for: court playability, your personal access code etc
