Do you have to be a member to play at the Teufels?
In short: no.
Guests can use our outdoor courts during off-peak times in summer for a fee. All info & booking here: Play tennis in Berlin without membership. Our indoor courts can also be booked by non-members; however, members have priority and usually better rates.
Tip: If you want to get to know the club first – or are starting late in the year and don’t want to pay the full annual fee – playing as a guest is a good option. For regular play, events, community and free newcomer training in the 1st year of membership, switching to membership is worthwhile.
