The Oratory Sports Centre is home to one of just 26 courts in the country and is the original racquet sport from which the modern game of lawn tennis, or tennis, is descended.

The Oratory are delighted to have Rob Fahey (the current Men’s Real Tennis World Champion) as their new head professional.  Whilst his wife, Claire Fahey (current Ladies Real Tennis World Champion) joins the Oratory School as Head of Racquet sports.

Real Tennis is played in an asymmetrical court which contains many unusual features, sloping roofs, openings (galleries) in the walls and a main wall which has a kink in it (tambour).The game is played with racquets made of wood and hand-made balls and uses a scoring system similar to that of “lawn tennis” with the addition of a “chase”.

For members booking please visit: www.realtennisonline.com/bookings

To find out more about Real Tennis, please email: pros@ortc.uk.

If you have any queries, would like to try the game or would like to join the club, please contact the Professionals on pros@ortc.uk, or call them on 07375 898995.

The Oratory Sports Centre has 2 squash courts that are open to the public throughout the day. Rackets are available to hire.

You will now be able to book squash courts via reception. Players can form ‘squash bubbles’ and play full-court squash, although modifications and additional hygiene measures are required.

A 'squash bubble' consists of a maximum of six players. Players can only be part of one bubble at a time.

Here is further information on returning to squash from Squash England:

Players within a bubble can play full-court matches but with the following modifications and hygiene measures;

• Only two players on court at one time.
• Play best of three games.
• Play first to 11 points, sudden-death at 10-all.
• Use ‘Sides’ as a way to maintain social distancing throughout the warm-up.
• During each game, when the first player reaches six points, both players should wipe away excessive sweat, sanitise their hands and the ball. Repeat between games.
• The same player to serve/touch the ball during each half of a game, and at the halfway point, switch servers.
• Protective eyewear or visors are strongly recommended at all times.
• Players must not wipe their hands on the court walls.
• Players are not allowed to shout or raise their voice.
