Nestled amongst a picturesque tree setting in St Mary’s Bay, Pompallier Tennis Club is Auckland Central's most desirable club. With a range of coaching programmes for all ages and skill levels and a social calendar second to none, Pompallier has five all weather astro courts allowing play all year round, and lights so you can play on after the sun goes down. During summer season there are numerous social and competition activities including the annual Xmas party and the hotly contested Club champs. Whether you're a bit rusty, or have never played, or would like to play more often with a range of players, Pompallier will have something to suit you and your level of tennis. Our junior programme is strong and growing every season with specialist coaching from Mark Pereira, interclub teams and our popular Friday night socials – parents and children are most welcome.
Courts
Outside of organised club days the courts must be booked. This can be done by either calling the club and booking with someone PERSONALLY, or filling in a booking sheet situated between the men’s and ladies changing rooms (summer). When courts are busy bookings can be made for 1 hour only finishing on the hour. All players names are to be entered on the sheet. Members have preference over guests from 6–8 pm.
