Re: Tennis courses in the Basel area

No replies yet? That is a bummer, I am looking to get back into Tennis as well and I'd like to find an outdoor court or somewhere I could play.

Tennis lessons would be good too, I can always use some work on my form.

If you have any interest in meeting up for some tennis, let me know, I'm available most any time (i.e. during the day, or evening).

Cheers

Re: Tennis courses in the Basel area

I used to be an average player (not played much in the last 2 years) and am also looking to get back into tennis. Need some work on my timing and definately need to improve my serve and so am looking for some practice hitting/games. If you're interested in playing let me know. The only courts I know in Basel belong to clubs, but I can do some research and find out about any municipal courts.

Re: Tennis courses in the Basel area

I can identify with your timing and service problems. I have never played organized tennis, but I have played recreationally for the last few summers and taken a few lessons here and there.

I'm definitely interested in finding some municipal courts, if you know where to look to find that info, that is cool.

I would also join a club if it is not too expensive. I am located close to St. Margarthen Park, they have several clay courts there, but I have not yet enquired about costs/membership.

Re: Tennis courses in the Basel area

Sorry for the late reply. I have had no luck finding any municipal courts in the area apart from the indoor ones at St Jakobshalle http://www.stjakobshalle.ch/en/tennis.asp

I am away in the UK next week and will be bringing my raquet back with me so I'm good for a game anytime in the evenings from the 17th onwards. I will be looking to join a club when I return (any reccommendations gratefully recieved). The courts you mentioned in Gundeli look good (don't understand why they belong to the lawn tennis club when the only courts I saw were clay) but i have been unable to find a website for them
