Testimonials
See what our members are saying! From top-notch courts to unbeatable savings, hear firsthand how Ellington Racquet Club is the go-to spot for pickleball and tennis in Northern Connecticut.
The Ellington Racquet Club is an awesome facility for players of all levels! The courts are consistently well-maintained, and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Their coaching programs and clinics are top-notch, with experienced instructors who cater to individual needs. Another great reason to play there, as I recently found out, that it is a solely women-owned business. A great success story that I can share with my daughters. Highly recommend this tennis center to anyone looking to improve their game.

My name is Geoff Abare and I am an avid pickleball player for over a year now. My wife and I are also small business owners and we appreciate & support other well run local small businesses. Tracy & her team have a brand new, fantastic tennis/pickleball facility. The club is spacious, very clean, plenty of parking and they are super nice people who are extremely easy to work with. Some friends & myself (on short notice) planned a DUPR league here and they were totally accommodating! I highly recommend this facility and wish them all the success deserve!

Great new facility, friendly staff. Love that the lights are indirect and there's plenty of room along the baseline.
