Skipton Tennis Centre has been awarded LTA Yorkshire, North of England and National Club of the Year 2017-18. The club is situated in the market town of Skipton, surrounded by the rolling hills of the Yorkshire Dales. Founded in 2008, the club now has 5 hard courts, 3 of which are floodlit, and 3 Padel courts (all floodlit, and 2 are canopied) a club pro shop, changing facilities, and refreshment bar. 

Our Mission is clear: To inspire, to motivate and to improve health and wellbeing. We aim to create happiness through building a sense of community, whilst improving social lives and providing the best in sporting opportunities.

We have a dedicated team of coaches and staff whose aim is to welcome you warmly and deliver an unrivalled level of quality and service. Everyone who visits STC experiences the energetic, fun and inclusive culture we pride ourselves on.

We are constantly looking for ways to innovate and create, both on and off the court, and we are not afraid to make bold decisions. The construction of our Padel courts in 2022 is a great example, we were among the first 100 courts in the UK and one of the first 50 venues to open a padel court. This demonstrates our commitment to leading the way in the racket sports industry.

STC offers everything from social Tennis and Padel mixers to competitive play, as well as group and private lessons. It truly is a thriving community of great people.
