Castor and Ailsworth Tennis Club offers coaching for adults and children. In Castor the club has two grass courts, plus one main hard court. Members also have use of the facilities at the former AMP Pearl site off Splash Lane, Castor, where there are four hard courts.

On Saturday afternoons for between 10 and 12 weeks a year, the club runs a kids’ club, where children can go for hour-long low-cost group coaching sessions.

To join the club costs £38 per year for a single adult, £75 for a family (two adults up to three children), and there is a discounted single junior rate for under 18s and full-time students of £25.
