Weekly Seniors Tennis Evenings in Orakei

Everything You Need to Know

This seniors tennis night welcomes adults and older players looking for a relaxed yet active way to enjoy the sport. Whether you are returning to tennis after a break or have played for years, the session suits a range of abilities and focuses on friendly matches rather than intense competition.

Players arrive ready to warm up on the courts and then move into doubles or singles games depending on numbers. The emphasis stays on good rallies, light conversation between points, and enjoying the evening air under the lights. Coaching tips are sometimes shared informally, and the group often finishes with a quick chat courtside.

The session runs weekly on Wednesday evenings, giving regulars a steady rhythm to their week while still leaving room for visitors to drop in when it suits them.

• Play social tennis in a supportive group of adults and seniors
• Enjoy floodlit courts with views across Auckland and the harbour
• Take part in doubles or singles matches based on who attends
• Share tips and encouragement in a low-pressure setting
• Meet other local players who enjoy regular midweek tennis
• Finish the evening with relaxed conversation after play

Ōrākei Tennis Club hosts the night, providing the setting and courts for this recurring gathering.
