Hello, does any one no of any cheap to use (or free) tennis courts in or near Zurich. I think I'm going to really miss the free courts in my local park when I move from london at the end of the month.

Cheers.

Not seen or heard of any free tennis courts in Zurich. mind you I had no idea they had them in London either.

There are however quite a few tennis clubs all over the place so you should never be far from one, either where you live or at work.
I was quoted 450Sfr a year for a pretty swanky club with all the facilities, and just 150Sfr a year for a place with 2 tennis courts and bar....so the prices aren't prohibitive if you like to play.

your employer might have a sports club with such facilities - have you checked out that option?

Ta very much! Those prices aren't as bad as I had imagined. I'll have a bit more of look around when I get to Zurich. I don't spose you could give me the names of those two clubs?

Unfortunatly work doesn't provide sports facilities. Cheers though!

they were both in Dübendorf, which is just outside Zurich

The city of Zürich leases 38 sand courts in the summerseason for 10-20 Fr./hour. Details here.

Hello everyone. I am interested in playing some tennis in Lausanne but I am not sure how the clubs work here. I have heard that there are some clubs that you can just sign up and according to your skill level they will arrange opponents for you. Is that true? If so do you know more info about it?

Anyone interested in tennis? Intermediate level.

Hi mate.
As I can see you're a student. If you study at the Uni Zurich or ETH you can use the ASVZ-tennis courts () either at the zoo or at Uni Irchel (maybe Hoenggerberg too), I think they cost around 10-14 swissies per hour (doesn't matter how many people play) depending on the play time and location, and one of the players has to be a student. Otherwise have a look at the links posted by Nathu.
Regards.

my asvz.ch-link didn't come through, here it is: http://www.asvz.ch/ASVZ-Tennis/index.html

Heya mate, thanks alot! I've just graduated, but my girlfriend is still a student so that should work out well.

Cheers

Sam

Thanx. I am not a student actually and i am living in lausanne. as i said, i am looking for a club in lausanne which uses maybe the same system as in other countries in other words arranging games between its members.

Hi antanast.
Well, you should've opened a separate thread for your question cos this one's about courts .
Anyway, referring to your question...
The clubs here work pretty simple. You pay an entrance fee of about 500 francs (depends on the club how high it is and whether there is one at all), an annual member fee of about 700 francs (depends also on the particular club, this one is meant for open-court clubs only) and you can play against other club members as often as you want to. For games between club members and guests see the club guidelines. In certain clubs there is also a possibility to take a one- or two-year sniff-subscription which is much cheaper. Usually you can become a member anytime.
Games aren't organized by the club. You have to call the club members or chat with them in order to arrange matches, you can also post your interest on the club's blackboard if there is one. There are a couple of fun-tournaments during a season and one big club tournament, usually in the end of summer.
If you don't get enough games or don't want to be a club member, you can apply for a player's licence which costs 60 francs for club members and 160 francs for the others per half a year. Then you can take part in tournaments for licensed players anytime you want (participation fees vary from 40 to 120 francs per tournament ). You can also take part in the Interclub games with your licence. Interclub is a tennis league where club teams compete against each other at different levels. For more info get in touch with your club's organization.

You can seek for all tennis clubs in Lausanne on that swisstennis.ch-website, there is a special club search.

Oh, you've already opened one on 16 July, sorry mate!
