Hackney City Tennis Clubs (HCTC)
Hackney City Tennis Clubs provides accessible, affordable tennis to the local community and the borough of Hackney. HCTC offers
tennis courses at Clissold Park and other Hackney parks for both children. All the coaches are LTA qualified.
HCTC was established in 2004, having evolved from The Clissold Park Junior Tennis Club (CPJTC), a not-for-profit club formed in
December 1999. CPJTC was the first constituted tennis club in Hackney and the first City Tennis Club in the country offering
accessible and affordable tennis to Junior and Adult players in the community.
Contact: To get on court call Iyabo or Jan on 020 7254 4235.

Football
Saturday mornings 10 - 11.30, rain snow or shine! In conjunction with Leyton Orient Football Club Coaching in the Community
initiative, qualified and approved football coaches offer a great opportunity for kids from 5 to 12 years who are interested in playing
football and developing skills. Just turn up, £2 contribution for each child per session. Meet on the field on the Green Lanes side of the
Park, near to the Park Lodge gate and the lakes (north end of Park).
Teams also for under 9's, under 10's and under 11's who play in a Sunday league and have links with the Leyton Orient FC Advanced School.
There are a number of other formal and semi formal football sessions in the Park and if you are interested to join in with any of them, probably the
best thing to do is just go and ask the players.

Stoke Newington Cricket Club
Based in Clissold Park and Stoke Newington School.
The club offers cricket coaching and opportunities to play for
children and young people aged 4 to 17. The club operates throughout the year on every school-term Saturday.
The coaching team is led by Mikey Thompson a professional Head coach and ex-professional cricketer, who also coaches

Community Cricket College. The club is otherwise staffed by fully qualified volunteer cricket coaches who are resident
in Hackney and committed to passing their skills and love of cricket on to Stoke Newington children.
As a club there is no need to book sessions, but the club does ask for commitment to it by players when playing against other teams.

Players aged 4 to 7 meet between 9.15am and 10.30am at Stoke Newington School on term-time Saturday mornings.
Players aged 7 to 17 meet between 10.30am and 12.30pm at Stoke Newington School on term-time Saturday mornings.
