To coincide with Olympic Year, Stanton Tennis Club have embarked on an ambitious community project to bring outdoor tennis back to Ilkeston.

Having secured approval from Erewash Borough Council for a 21 year lease on 4 derelict outdoor tennis courts located at Rutland Sports Park, we hope to refurbish the facility which will include resurfacing, extending the courts slightly, and replacement of fencing. In doing so we will be able to keep Stanton Tennis Club in the town of Ilkeston, provide affordable outdoor tennis facilities to the general public (the lease agreement will provide for some public access), and will allow us to further develop our extensive programme of coaching for children / juniors in the local area.

Be Part Of It!

The cost of this project will be in the region of £60k and we are currently looking for sponsors / partners and donations to help us reach our goal of bringing outdoor tennis back to Ilkeston in 2012.
