Questions about visiting a club
How do I find a club that suits me?
Choose a country from the list or map, then browse its cities and clubs. Use the language menu in the header to change editions. The language of an edition does not confirm the language used in every club.
What does a club visit cost?
A membership or single-visit amount is available for 159 of the 1,951 listings here. These are separate fees: read the programme, currency and payment period beside each amount. Ask the club about any price marked Unknown before booking.
Where can I see the meeting days?
Meeting days are recorded for 740 of the 1,951 listings. Read the session name as well as the time: lessons, casual play and tournaments can use different schedules. Dated events and venue opening hours are labelled separately in the details.
How can I find sessions for children or beginners?
Age-group information is available for 391 of the 1,951 listings. Check the minimum age and playing level in Details. If age or level is missing, it is not clear whether the club can accept a particular player; ask about the session you want to attend.
Can I try a session or take lessons?
Look for Teaching, Trial lesson and Trial visit in the expanded card. They describe different offers. If an offer is listed, check its programme and fee; if it is unknown, ask the club whether a first visit or lesson needs booking.
Which address should I use?
Read the address label on the card. Playing venues, postal addresses and event venues have different purposes. The map shows recorded locations where usable coordinates are available; confirm the venue for the session if several addresses are listed.
How do I check or correct the information?
Open Sources to see the URL and recorded check date for each available detail. Unknown means no source gives this detail yet. Report a change with the club name and a public source if something has changed.
