Senior (18+ years old)
Adult members inevitably comprise the core membership and the club aims to provide excellent facilities, a vibrant clubhouse and an inclusive, supportive atmosphere.

Student (those at university, college or on apprenticeship schemes)
Those with reduced income and/or living away from home enjoy a reduced rate. We want to keep the club available for local players but recognise they cannot always commit to full availability.

Junior (6 to 18 years of age)
Enthusiastic and committed Juniors who can enjoy the club facilities alongside school sports, hopefully transitioning into Senior members of the future.

All membership is now managed via the Marden Sports Club app, or online here. Search in your app store, download the app, then register and you’re away. Any queries: [email protected]

The club recognises the huge importance of sport and its wider social benefits and aims to be as inclusive as possible. We offer reduced rates for those with low income and these are considered on a case by case basis.

Reduced rate memberships are means-tested and are granted at the discretion of the committee. Applications should be made initially to [email protected] after which the case will be progressed by the committee. All applications for assistance are treated in the strictest confidence.

We do not issue a physical membership card to our members, however, there is a digital card on your app account, which can be found by clicking on the icon in the top right hand corner of the screen.  We encourage everyone to upload a photo so that, in the event that you are asked for proof of your membership, this can be easily confirmed by displaying your app card.

Payment in instalments for sports subscriptions is available in exceptional circumstances and on request by emailing membership@mardensportsclub.com.  Club Membership and Padel Membership must always be paid in full.

The first answer is it’s not just about the match tea! Nor is it merely the cost of a ball.

Costs vary across all sports but can include umpires, pitch preparation, floodlighting, even the cost of closing off courts to other users. And, yes, teas and balls.

We have simplified the rates across all the sports, so there is more consistency. This makes it easier for captains to collect too of course. Match tax (paid per match played) can be paid directly to your captain, or conveniently via the membership system.

Existing club members can renew membership or sports subscriptions by logging into their account on the Marden Sports Club app.

Every adult visiting the club on more than a handful of occasions needs to be a member. This is £40 pa.

With a system of club membership we can communicate with everyone effectively, whether they play a sport or not. This is important for various purposes: sporting news and club events, renewals, health and safety issues and general correspondence. It also means that, via the membership system, we have full records for the purpose of financial management, tax, insurance and charitable status.

All Juniors must be represented by a parent or guardian who is a Club Member. This enables the parent/guardian to enjoy the clubhouse facilities whenever they are open and also provides the Club with a point of communication with an adult who has agreed to the Club Rules and Conditions. This allows the Club proper governance of the child for sporting activities and while on the premises.
