WALKING TENNIS‍ SESSIONS

Want to play tennis still but at a slower pace, recovering from injury or are you a complete beginner wanting a bit more time and practice in a supportive setting? Come and try Walking Tennis with us and bring a friend. It’s a slower game, where the ball can bounce twice, there is no jumping or running and you play with modified equipment. Our NEW SESSION STARTS ON TUESDAY 21st MAY 12noon till 13.00 and weekly thereafter. The next one will be Tuesday 11th June. £3 for members and £5 for non members.
