Member testimonials

I have been a member of the Reynella Tennis Club since I was 8 and I am now in my thirties.

This Club has played such a pivotal role in my life and I did not fully appreciate it until I became a senior player in the club.

I thought it was just fun playing tennis and that was all it was, however I have gained lifelong friends through playing at this club.

I seem to spend more time with my friends at the tennis club than I do actually playing tennis and that’s what makes this club so wonderful.

Its more than sporting club, it’s a community of people and a family that are friendly and passionate

If you are lucky as me you will get far more out of this Club than just tennis and you won’t regret joining this great club

Club History

The Reynella Tennis Club was established in 1921. Two courts were originally located at the northern end of Reynella Oval. The club relocated to its present position just after World War 2. The third court was built using entirely local volunteer labour, in the mid 1960’s. A further three courts were built in the late 1970’s. Originally the club played in the Blackwood Association and after a few years moved to the Southern Tennis Association and is now in Southern Districts Tennis Association.

The club has produced many fine players, with several going on to play in the Adelaide Premier League Competition. Those who have won Southern Tennis Association titles include Barry Meier, Piret Vaughton, Lynnette Whyatt (Green), Kate Whyatt, Tom Dyke, Ray Moyle, David Trott and Craig Smith. Junior Association Champions include Graeme Green, Kate Whyatt, Leah Crawley, Carmel Alcock, Lynnette Green, Kim Aiston, Stephen Upton, Ron Vos, Leon Burkhardt, Ben Neijalke, Radek Kochanowski, Raymond Radice and Dylan Ellis.
