The men’s ‘A’ team in the Staffs Premier 1, ladies ‘A’ in Premier 2, men’s ‘B’ in Division 1, men’s ‘C’ in Division 2 and the ladies ‘B’ in Division 1. Competing in the Burton Area Leagues are the mixed teams ‘A’, ‘B’, ‘C’ and ‘D’ and the men’s ‘D’. The ‘Walsall Mixed’ team competes in the Walsall League.
Each year the Club stages its internal tournament, normally over the two weeks before Wimbledon in June. All senior, intermediate and selected junior members are welcome to participate. Finals day, held on the last Sunday of the fortnight, is a highlight of the season. It is an excellent event well supported by both playing and social members, a day to relax and watch the tennis or simply enjoy the barbecue, and the strawberries and cream. ‘Winter League’ tennis is available for the more hardy members of the Club. Occasional ‘American’ Tournaments are arranged exclusively for members. These are truly 'round robin' events where the emphasis is on pleasure rather than pressure.
