In early 2021 Nether Heyford became the first club in Northamptonshire to offer Walking Tennis. We run weekly sessions every Monday 10 am - 12 pm, with equipment provided. These are free to Nether Heyford Tennis Club members, or there is a special £30 (£50 for a couple) annual Walking Tennis membership which enables members to attend all Walking Tennis sessions and 'non-tennis' club social events. Please contact us if you are interested in trying out Walking Tennis, or in Walking Tennis membership. An online form to become a Walking Tennis member is available here.
Walking Tennis offers an opportunity to learn new skills, improve physical and mental health and make new friends. It is suitable for people who already play tennis, or are completely new to the game. Further information about the game and how it works is available here.
Note that at Nether Heyford, Walking Tennis is played on a full size court, but with shorter racquets and softer balls. Have a look at this short video to see what it looks like:
