Here is a page for our frequently asked questions. Have a look through and see if any of these answers may help you, otherwise feel free to message us on our Facebook page.

How do I find out about club events?

Make sure to like our Facebook page and join the ANU Tennis Club members page once your purchase a membership. Any news about club happenings and events will be shared there!

What sessions does the club run?

The club sessions that are being run are advertised both here and on our Facebook page, so keep an eye out there for any changes!

How will I know if a session is cancelled?

All sessions will run as planned unless a post is made on the Facebook page which states the session is cancelled. If there seems to be bad weather, assume the session is going ahead unless a post has been made. We always recommend that if you think it is unsafe to play tennis, it is best to give it a miss!

Do I need my own tennis racquet?

We have a small number of tennis racquets available to borrow, but only during our weekly sessions. If you plan on having a hit with friends outside these times or notice that there are no spare racquets during the sessions, then we can help you find places to purchase new / used tennis racquets.

I am a complete beginner / don’t know what level I am, what sessions should I come to?

We always recommend coming to our Fun & Games session for your first session. These sessions involve some games and tennis coaching suitable for all skill levels. You can also ask our committee for some further guidance after we can see how you play.

Here are a few points as a guide:
– If you are able to serve, then you may enjoy the Friday social doubles sessions.
– If you would like to be more competitive, then the Competitive sessions are a great choice.
– For additional match-play, our ANU Pennant sessions are also available.

How do I sign up for a membership?

Signup is done through the ANU Sport Club Portal. You log in to the website and select your desired membership product from there. Our memberships are open from February to November, similar to our session times.

Note: If you are an ANU Staff and Student i.e. a PhD student, make sure to log in with your student account, as the Club Portal system defaults to logging in with your staff account.

Where can I find membership pricing?

Pricing is available on the ANU Sport Club Portal and may change each year.

I’m an ANU student! Are there any discounts?

ANU Students will receive discounted memberships and are automatically available on the ANU Sport Club Portal, just make sure to log in with your student account.

Are there additional costs for non-student members (associates)?

Associate members may have to pay an additional amount in ANU Sport Club Association Fees. This is outlined in our Membership section. If an ANU Sport access card is required, Associate members must pay a $30 holding deposit. This deposit is refunded once the card is returned.

I’m having problems with the ANU Sport Club Portal! What do I do?

Unfortunately, we are unable to assist with the majority of issues that may arise on the ANU Sport Club Portal. Please contact ANU Sport for any of these issues!

I’ve just paid! Is there anything else I need to do?

Thanks for joining our club this year! If there is anything else you need to do, we will send you an email upon confirmation of your purchase. Otherwise, there is nothing else you need to do and you can enjoy your benefits!

I purchased an ANUTC Booking Package, why don’t I have court access?

If you purchased an ANUTC Booking Package as a student then you may have to wait a little bit for ANU Security to update your student card. This process usually takes up to two weeks, so please contact us if you still do not have court access to the South Oval Tennis Courts after two weeks.

How do I book a tennis court?

All ANU Sport facility bookings must be completed through the ANU Sport Booking Portal. Select Tennis as the Booking Type to see each court’s availability. If you have purchased an ANUTC Booking Package, then you must note this in the comments just prior to selecting “Request Booking” for ANU Sport to adjust the booking request accordingly.

Can I get a membership for a single semester?

Generally, single semester memberships are only available in Semester 2. If you will no longer be in Canberra after Semester 1, then please give us an email and we can organise a single semester membership for you.
