We
are proud to be the home of northeast Ohio's premier
tennis program. To begin, players at Wembley enjoy
some of the area's finest tennis facilities, including
five indoor/outdoor cushioned asphalt courts, three
outdoor asphalt courts, and two Har-Tru courts. The
heart of Wembley's program, however, rests with the
players who belong to the Club, and with the
professionals who provide instruction and programming
to those players. Active and passionate participation
is the key to any great tennis program, and Wembley is
no exception. Whether you are interested in a social
game, a competitive match, or just a little exercise,
Wembley can satisfy all your tennis needs.
Wembley is home to scores of players, representing all ages
and all skill levels. Those looking for competitive play
need look no further than the Club's own courts.
Wembley fields as many as 18 USTA teams for men and women
of all levels. With champions at virtually every level
throughout the years, Wembley's USTA mixed doubles teams
have enjoyed particular success over the past few
seasons. In addition to USTA, Wembley has an active
participation in men's and women's interclub leagues, as
well as intra-club singles ladders and club championship
tournaments.
The junior tennis program at Wembley is widely recognized
as the area's finest, and in fact compares favorably to the
nation's best tennis academies. Many of the state's best
junior players flock to Wembley's courts to take advantage
of the program's top-notch instruction and the competitive
atmosphere fostered within the junior clinics. Many of
these juniors advance to greater success at the national
level. While competitive success is not and should not be
the goal of all junior players, those that desire to
achieve such success will find no better program than the
one presented at Wembley.
If tennis is your game, please contact the Club for details
of our programming and instruction.
