Grove Lawn Tennis ClubThe shale courts at Grove Tennis Club are gentler on knees and allow people to play into older years. GoodGym are going to support this great activity by helping to get the courts prepped, allowing the club to open the club for tennis early in the spring.
Grove Tennis Club is at risk of closing due to financial pressures, so it is important that the courses are playable as soon as possible to help secure the future of the club. The club is a real social hub for members, some who have been there for over 40 years. As Huddersfield oldest tennis club (established 1906) if it were to close a piece of Huddersfield history would surely be lost!
GoodGym’s input could help keep this fantastic little club going for another year. We’ll be sweeping the courts to remove moss, debris and weeds, laying shale clay down and rolling the court with a hand push roller. There may also be some weeding to do and pruning of trees that surround the courts….so plenty to keep us busy!
We'll be running from the Stadium as usual at 6:30pm, but if you are not up for the run no problem.....you can meet us for the task at the club on Gledholt Road at 7pm instead.

Grove Lawn Tennis ClubOptions are available to run between 6km and 6km in total
Remember that we run to and from the task, so you'll only be running for half this distance in one go.
This is a standard GoodGym group run. If you can't run for more than 15mins without stopping or you're worried about any aspect of the session, contact us or see if there's a starter session coming up in your area.
