Tennis

BLAGSS TENNIS

SUNDAYS at 12; THURSDAYS from 6 p.m.

The tennis group meets every Sunday at 12:00 (weather permitting) on the outdoor courts at Hove Park, Old Shoreham Road, Hove. Players are of varying standards.

& on Thursdays from 6 p.m. at Hove Park.

We play shortened sets of doubles, then mix the teams around to play with new partners and opponents. That way everyone gets variety, the chance to play against players of the same standard or higher.


The cost is usually £1 or £2 to cover court hire costs and for the tennis balls.


There is a singles league of 6 divisions if you wish to play at other times. You play 4 matches in a 2 months period; the top 2 players in each division are promoted; the bottom 2 players go down a division. Contact Matt for availibility of places.


Fun tournaments are held (usually on 2 Bank Holiday weekends).

Please come along and play - either contact the coordinator by email or simply turn up at the courts and ask for Blagss or wait at the bench next to the courts and the cafe.

Blagss tennis has 2 teams in the city-wide Parks League (April to August) for those who wish to play competitive matches against other clubs that play in other public parks in Brighton & Hove. In 2009 we won the Division 4 trophy. In 2010 we will have teams in Divisions 2 and 3.

BLAGSS at Pride

BLAGSS marched in the parade, wearing our brightly coloured BLAGSS T-Shirts. This year's theme was Pride & (No) Prejudice, so we were be holding masks of well known lesbian and gay athletes who are proud of their sexuality, even in what can be a difficult environment.

We were also in Preston Park, where anyone could find out more about BLAGSS, join or renew their membership and buy a BLAGSS t-shirt, with our traditional Pimms party from 4pm.

Voted Best Gay Sports Group in the UK (Pink Paper 2008). ~ PHONE 0845 65 BLAGS
