What’s On
Walking Tennis
Friday mornings – free for 6 weeks! (12th, 19th, 26th September; 3rd, 10th, 17th October)
Walking Tennis is a gentle and inclusive way for a variety of people to play, including those with injuries, differently-abled players and seniors. The courts are smaller, equipment is modified and two bounces are permitted. Walking Tennis is great for people who would like to get more active and is a very sociable sport. Stay for a cuppa afterwards!
Grade 6 Matchplay
An entry-level event, which is open to both our players and those from other clubs. The format will be Fast 4 and the players will get lots of short matches, with no overall winner at the end. All results will count towards the player’s World Tennis Number, which is a great way to track competitive progress. All entrants will need to be LTA Advantage Members.
The events are mixed (boys and girls together), with a maximum of 14 players each in the following age groups:
14 & Under (born 2011-2014)
12 & under players are encouraged to participate as well!
Saturday 15th November, 13:30-16:00
Free Tennis Friday – October 31st, 10:00-16:00
Everyone is welcome to come along and use a court for free, with racquets and equipment available to borrow. Please note that depending on demand, there may be a short wait for an available court, but the café will be open. We will operate a fair usage policy of one hour, however, if there is availability beyond that, players will be welcome to stay longer. No booking is required as this is just a turn-up event.
