Â鶹´«Ã½ Borough Council’s new tennis coaching provider, Summit Tennis, served up a feast of tennis over the Easter holidays with two action-packed tennis days for local children, held at Maidenbower Park and West Green Park.
The sessions welcomed more than 90 enthusiastic young players aged up to 13, many picking up a racket for the very first time, in a fun and friendly environment designed to ignite a lifelong love for the sport. Both sessions blended energetic drills, skill-building games and match-play activities.
It was fantastic to see so many young players engaged at the tennis days led by Summit Tennis' passionate coaching team. I would encourage any local children who are interested to give it a try! Tennis classes, like many sports activities, are a great way to keep children busy outside of school, get them moving and trying new skills. There are also many long-term health and wellbeing benefits for children attending regular sports activities.

We’re excited to help grow grassroots tennis across Â鶹´«Ã½ and are offering two free sessions to anyone who wants to try tennis coaching. No racket or equipment is required, simply turn up with a smile and plenty of energy!
