Proud to host first tennis festival for children and adults with learning difficulties

Players from Telford Tennis Centre and Derwen College joined up with Pershore to create a Team Challenge Event.

19 players took part in the Challenge, scoring points in teams and including various tennis activities to work on their serve, forehand, backhand, volleys, rallies and match play. The winning team was the Red Team, pictured here with their fellow tennis team mates and me, Head Coach.

Together with Pershore Tennis Centre, I was recently awarded the Herefordshire and Worcestershire Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) Disability Programme of the year and continue to encourage everyone to join us on court to play tennis.

Simon Jones, Chair of Tennis Shropshire, said:

“Everyone did a fantastic job today in organising the Challenge event. You all did an absolutely fantastic job in ensuring that all the players had a wonderful time and I have had some very positive feedback from the Shropshire team who really enjoyed the afternoon.”

Together, we will be hosting a regional Learning Disability tournament on 30th and 31st May 2020 and welcome your support to share our message with interested groups.
