Welcome to the New Ellington Racquet Club Website!

We’re excited to announce the official launch of the brand-new website for Ellington Racquet Club—a major step forward in our mission to grow and support racquet sports in Ellington and the surrounding Northern Connecticut region.


Whether you’re a competitive tennis player, a pickleball enthusiast, or just looking for a local court to stay active, our goal remains the same: to provide a welcoming, high-quality experience both on and off the court. With this new site, we're making it easier than ever to stay connected, reserve courts, and get involved in everything ERC has to offer.


Built for Our Community


Ellington Racquet Club was founded to serve a simple but important purpose: to create a centralized home for racquet sports in Tolland County and beyond. We're proud to be based in Ellington, Connecticut, a town known for its strong sense of community, excellent youth sports programs, and commitment to healthy living.


Until now, players in the area often had to travel to Manchester, Bloomfield, or South Windsor to find consistent indoor court time—especially during the colder months. ERC fills that gap by offering a modern, locally managed facility where players of all levels can come together to play, compete, and connect year-round.


What You’ll Find on the New Website


Our redesigned website was built with intention: to improve the experience of every current and future member, streamline communication, and make it easier to engage with ERC.


Some of the key features include:


  • Online Court Booking: Reserve tennis or pickleball courts directly through the site with clear availability and pricing.
  • Membership Information: Explore our growing membership options and learn about the perks, including discounted court rates and early access to programming.
  • News & Updates: Stay informed about upcoming leagues, tournaments, and seasonal programming.
  • Future Programming: We’ll soon be introducing instructional programs for adults and juniors, group lessons, clinics, and community play events.
  • Local Focus: Whether you're from Ellington, Vernon, Somers, Stafford, Tolland, or Enfield, ERC is positioned as the region’s go-to indoor racquet facility.


Looking Ahead


This website marks the beginning of a bigger vision for Ellington Racquet Club. Our long-term plan includes expanding programming, growing our member base, and fostering a stronger racquet sports culture in North-Central Connecticut.



We’re already in the process of planning:


  • Adult and youth leagues
  • Beginner-friendly social play sessions
  • Pickleball ladder matches and tournaments
  • Instructional programs for all ages and levels


Our goal is to create more than just a place to play. We want ERC to become a hub for health, competition, and community.


Stay Connected


We invite you to explore the new site and see what’s ahead. If you’d like to stay in the loop about programs, events, and membership opportunities, subscribe to our newsletter at the bottom of the homepage.
