Brentside is our most relaxed weekly session: three hours of pay-and-play doubles, a friendly rotation, and no need to arrive with a partner. It is a good fit if you are new to the club, coming back after time away, or just want a simple Friday game.
The sports hall is on Greenford Avenue, so it works well for people coming from West Ealing, Hanwell, Greenford, Boston Manor and the surrounding streets. Message David before travelling so we can confirm space and help you settle into the rotation.
