The Club

Los Amigos is an international tennis club at the Costa Blanca in Spain. Our members come from everywhere and are of all levels, beginners to experienced. We play doubles. We pride ourselves in being a social tennis club, where members will play with and against all the other members, regardless of level. Of course, games management will do its best to get everybody well levelled games where possible. As less experienced members do need to learn, better players are sometimes teamed with beginners. 

You can read in our name, Los Amigos, that our mission is to be a club of friends playing tennis. After tennis there is time to enjoy a drink and socialise with the other members. Some social events will be organised to enhance the Los Amigos mission, like tournaments with lunch after, pizza nights, and Christmas or New Year´s lunches.

Playing Tennis

Our playing days are Tuesday and Thursday, 10.00 to 13.00, all year round, weather permitting. We play four 45-minute sessions, doubles. Every player present has his peg on the board, games management decides who plays with whom, and arranges the pegs per session. On the board you can see who you are playing with next time, against whom and on which court. Session change is indicated by the whistle.

Where playing all four sessions is the goal, players that can´t, or don´t want to, play all four sessions are also accommodated, however, club rules for this are:

  • When playing just 2 games, you have to be available between 10.00 and 12.15 for the sessions you want to play, as no guarantee can be given that you can play the first two sessions. So, you could be playing session 1 and 2, 1 and 3, or 2 and 3, as you might have to sit out during a session.

  • When playing just 3 sessions, you are expected to be available between 10.00 and 13.00; you could be sitting out one session.

Members can bring friends, guests are welcome. However, guests and friends can only play when we have enough courts available; members have priority.

As we have 5 clay courts, and 1 hard court, available, we can accommodate 24 tennis players at one time.

Fees (from 2023 on):

Los Amigos do not charge a yearly fee; we are a pay as you play club. Playing fee is €6 for playing 2 or 3 sessions (playing only 1 sessions is discouraged because it will disrupt the scheduling); Players that will 4 sessions  pay a fee of €8.

Rules

  • Be on time; people are waiting for you. First come, first served.

  • Leave the courts promptly after the whistle has gone (you can finish the game you´re playing)

  • Go straight to the board to see whether you are playing in the next game and if so, go directly to the relevant court.

  • Inform game management before the start of a game if you wish to sit out on the following game.

  • Sitting out: When the games are filled, or when there are too many people for our courts, sitting out is the only option. Sitting out is for everybody, it will be arranged in the fairest way possible.

  • Never forget: HAVE FUN!
