Description
The Hills Road Sports and Tennis Centre offers some of the finest indoor and outdoor sporting facilities in the country.
The tennis facilities are some of the best in the country and include four indoor acrylic courts, four outdoor acrylic courts (two of which are floodlit) and two outdoor clay courts. The clay courts are the only two of their kind in Cambridgeshire.

The indoor cricket hall has two nets and a specially designed playing surface. This surface is called 'Supergrasse' and was first developed at the Australian Cricket Academy. There is also a 'Bola' bowling machine that is capable of bowling spin, swing and deliveries of up to 90 mph if you feel up to it. In addition the sports hall can also be used for coaching larger groups of juniors or for fielding practice.

The Tennis Centre is a centre of excellence and is a base for both LTA national training squads and Cambridgeshire LTA county squads. These extensive facilities enable us to run a wide range of tennis coaching courses throughout the year. These courses involve group-tuition and are aimed at all abilities from beginner to advanced. We also run more social courses including Tennis at Ten and Sunday Social Tennis which run throughout the year. During the summer we also enter teams into the Cambridgeshire Business Houses Tennis League, allowing centre users to play some competitive tennis.

The sports hall has a semi-sprung beech floor and is suitable for a wide range of activities. These include five-a-side football, basketball, badminton, volleyball, aerobics and netball. As well as being available to hire the sports hall is also used for weekly sessions of circuits and social badminton, the latter taking place on Monday and Wednesday evenings.
This excellent facility enables us to put on an extensive range of coaching courses throughout the winter months and into the early season. The courses are suitable for all ages and abilities and are coached by highly experienced and well qualified coaches.

The Centre has one squash court and runs a number of fitness, self defence and other classes.
