Howick Tennis Club is a friendly club on the corner of Wellington and Howe Streets in Howick, East Auckland. It was first established in 1902, on land owned by Howick Borough Council. The club has six all-weather astro turf courts with newly upgraded LED floodlights, a recently upgraded clubhouse and a covered outdoor viewing deck. It is next to the Howick Domain, the Howick Junior Athletics Club and the Howick Rifle Club, and it is a five-minute drive or walk from Howick Shopping Centre. The club has about 300 junior, intermediate and senior members. Its clubhouse bar serves refreshments after play.
The club offers coaching for all ages, from beginners to competitive players, led by head coach Matt Jones. Junior coaching runs from the Hot Shots programme to the Academy group, for children aged 5 to 18, and both members and non-members can take part. The club enters junior teams in the pre- and post-Christmas junior interclub competitions. Social and competitive play runs on weekdays and weekends, and the club says its first three sessions are free for prospective members, so people can try the club before they join. For someone in Howick or East Auckland who wants coaching for children and adults, with social play and competitive options at one club, the club covers all of these.
