Tennis for Health
This session is suitable for anyone wanting to get into tennis at a slower pace. It will include the option for walking tennis which is at a slower pace where the ball can bounce more reducing the need for running fast and which has less impact on the joints.
These sessions run weekly from April to October (Day and time for 2025 coming soon). Please contact
