Men's Blues

The men's first team, the Blues, train indoors during the winter at White Horse Leisure Centre in Abingdon and on grass courts in Oxford during the summer. Having won varsity for the first time in a decade in 2015, the blues are looking to double up in 2016.

Women's Blues

The Women's Blues squad consists of about 8-10 players. The squad trains together throughout the year, with a team of 8 being selected for the annual Varsity match against Cambridge at the end of Trinity term, the highlight of the Blues calendar.

Men's Penguins

The Men's Second team, also known as the Penguins, has two training sessions a week indoors at White Horse Leisure Centre in Abingdon with Jon Maskens during the winter in addition to a weekend session on the hard courts at Iffley Road Sports Ground. They make the change to the Iffley grass courts for the summer term.

Women's Robins

The Robins train 2-3 times a week all year round. This includes a two-hour session every Sunday and one weekly joint session with the Blues team that takes place indoors at the White Horse Leisure and Tennis Centre in Abingdon during the winter. The Robins team is never finalised until Trinity Term, so players who show enough potential in the Robins squad can be promoted to the Blues at any point in the year.

Men's Polar Bears

The Men's Third team, known as the Polar Bears, train all year round at Iffley Road Sports Ground. In the winter, they usually have a weekend session on the Iffley hard courts and try to practice with other members of the team throughout the week on various college courts.

Women's Swifts

The Swifts train 2-3 times a week all year round at Iffley Road Sports Centre. The Robins and Swifts squads are never finally decided until Trinity Term so players can be moved up or down at any point in the year.

Men's Wolves

The Wolves became part of OULTC in 2014-15. They train once a week under the watchful eye of our University Tennis Co-ordinator, have competitive singles and doubles matchplay during the week at Iffley Road as well as a varsity match against Cambridge in the Summer.

Women's Fourths

The Women's Fourths are one of the teams being introduced to OULTC in 2014-15. They will train once a week under the watchful eye of our University Tennis Co-ordinator and have competitive singles and doubles matchplay during the week at Iffley Road. This new squad will be full of players looking to improve their tennis with like-minded people from Oxford.

Men's Fifths

The Men's Fifths are one of the teams being introduced to OULTC in 2014-15. They will train once a week under the watchful eye of our University Tennis Co-ordinator and have competitive singles and doubles matchplay during the week at Iffley Road. This new squad will be full of players looking to improve their tennis with like-minded people from Oxford.

Social Tennis

OULTC offers social memberships to all members of the university which is a great way to meet people who also enjoy playing tennis. We have four hard courts which social members can book and use at any time of the year when teams training isn't taking place. Social membership also includes free coaching, more details can be found on the Social Tennis page.
