Fritton has four excellent tennis courts, two grass courts, one Belgian red clay court and one clay all-weather court.

Grass courts generally play much faster than clay or hard courts and the bounce of the ball can often be low and inconsistent which favours big servers and players with good hand skills for volleys . Grass courts also play differently depending upon weather conditions and so present challenges even for the most advanced players but are also incredible fun and evoke memories of long sunny days and barmy evenings - a really great experience for players of all abilities.

Clay courts require an entirely different style of play to grass courts. The ball bounces much higher and slower so that serves and volleys are not so effective as they are on grass. Clay courts require spin, tactics and patience plus fitness and athleticism to deal with longer rallies. The loose clay surface allows for sliding which is one of the most exhilarating parts of clay court play - wonderful fun and a real throwback to Paris, Monte Carlo or Madrid.

All-weather courts allow for play in almost all conditions. They have a smooth consistent bounce and are ideal for beginners as well as more advanced players. The all-weather court at Fritton is special in that it emulates the feel and play of a clay court while being more robust to accommodate the English weather.
