No previous tennis experience necessary. All equipment provided, players just need to wear suitable sports clothing and trainers, and be able to work within a group environment.
It would be great to see all the sessions nice and busy. Please share with your members and encourage them to invite their friends so we can give as many people as possible the chance to have a go at tennis.
