Melbourne University Tennis Club (Parkville)
Founded in the 1880's, the Melbourne University Tennis Club is one of the largest and most active sporting clubs on the Melbourne University campus.
Melbourne University Tennis Club aims to provide tennis opportunities to players of all skill levels through our mix of competitive and social competitions and hitting sessions, with coaching also available through our coaching partner, University Tennis Academy. This aim extends beyond the court, with a number of social events including cocktail nights, barefoot bowling and trivia nights held throughout the year.
