Eindhoven Student Tennis Association
The student sport of the Netherlands
Are you at the top of your game in the Netherlands, or have you never touched a racket before? At Fellenoord, all levels of players are welcome! We focus on having fun while improving your tennis skills. With 11 tennis courts, a vibrant community of members, and our own clubhouse (the Pavilion), we can offer you an amazing student experience. Every Wednesday evening, we gather at the Pavilion, and once a month, you can find us at our regular pub, Miller Time. Whether you're an active tennis player or a party animal, Fellenoord has something for everyone!

4 & 18 September 2024
Open club night
Every Wednesday there is club night at Fellenoord from 8pm. It is no strings attached, but always very sociable. Choose on the spot with whom you want to play free tennis or a game. Or just drop by for a drink and a serving of bitterballen, set up the beer pong table, or play a card game. Wednesday nights are perfect for meeting new people and finding sports buddies. To make these days even more accessible, there will be ‘open club nights’ on 4 and 18 September, to make the barrier to drop by extra low. Put the dates in your calendar and meet up with someone you know, it will be fun anyway! The club nights at Fellenoord are never just for Fellenoorders. Even if you are not sure yet whether you want to become a member, you are always welcome!
6 - 10 October 2024
Eindhoven Student Tennis Championships
RegisterDuring the ESTC, you play a tournament in a low-key way. It is not about the points, but if you win, you can win a nice prize. It does not matter here whether you can play tennis well or not, you play a doubles match with someone of your choice according to ‘sum category’. If you are ranked 6 and your mate is 9, you will play together in the 15 category. You will then play against others who are also ranked 15, which is fair. Even if you are not a member of Fellenoord, but you have sportscard, you can join in, so sign up! It's party time every day at the club, so stick around for the fun. Keep 6 to 10 October free in your agenda!
18 - 20 October 2024
New members weekend
RegisterAre you looking for fun in your student days and want a weekend away? Then sign up for the introduction weekend! During this weekend you will do fun activities, play a bit of tennis of course, and there is also plenty of room for party and fun. Only new members come along, so this is the time to get a good start at Fellenoord and get a taste of the fun. This year, the introweekend is scheduled from 18 to 20 October, so register soon! These are often the activities you'll remember for years to come, so what are you waiting for?
Who are we?
Fellenoord is Eindhoven's premier student tennis club, with almost 600 members! The club offers the ideal combination of tennis and sociability through the various activities it organises.
Training
Level does not matter: we offer weekly training sessions for beginners to advanced players, allowing you to train with people of your own level (playing strength 3 to 9). Training days are Monday to Thursday between 17:30 and 22:30. You can register via the website in your personal dashboard. During training, you bring your own racket and of course put on sportswear and shoes! We also organise a weekly club night in our Pavilion on Wednesdays for all members to play tennis together, have a beer and meet new people!
Competition
For competition, we will play throughout the year: the autumn, winter and spring seasons! You can sign up individually or as a team. There is room for everyone. If you register individually, you will always be classified at your own level. You can find teammates during our activities, such as the club evening or training, but also in the Felle group app. If you are not available on all dates or do not have a team, you can sign up as a reserve player. In summer, we play in (student) tournaments all over the country, from Amsterdam to Maastricht. There is always room to participate in a tennis tournament in the Eindhoven area. You can find these on the KNLTB website.
Committees
You can not only develop yourself in tennis with us, but also on a personal level by joining one of our committees! This is the place to learn new skills, make friends and have an (extra) good time. There are committees where you organise a one-off or multi-day activity, tennis- or non-tennis-related, help with promotion inside and outside the club or help maintain and recruit sponsors. If interested, you can sign up by contacting the board, and they can give you more information about the different committees. For an overview of our committees, please refer to the committee overview.
Activities
Of course, there is also plenty to do at Fellenoord besides the track. Among other things, we have monthly drinks in our regular pub, Miller Time! This is also where we organise a big seasonal party three times a year, attended by external tennis clubs. Both the drinks and parties are ushered in with a free beer and shot. Ideal! We also organise various fun activities throughout the year, such as a Christmas dinner and training and members' weekend.
External associations
There are many different student tennis clubs across the country, with which we have a close relationship as three sisters: Chip & Charge (Amsterdam), Veracket (Groningen) and Stennis (Maastricht). Every year, we go on a joint winter sports trip with Chip & Charge and Veracket! We also visit each other's open tournaments in the summer holidays, where fun parties and activities take place. So you don't want to miss that!
