This new court will add a much needed upgrade to the facilities at this very popular family club. With tennis participation up by 354% since lockdown Pershore Tennis Centre is seeing increasing demand for its courts.  Pershore Indoor Tennis Centre now has 5 all-weather floodlight outdoor courts: 3 artificial clay surfaces and 2 hard courts, plus 3 indoor courts with state of the art LED lighting.  Meaning tennis at Pershore truly is an all-weather, all-year round sport.

Cllr Rob Adams, Portfolio Holder for Strong Communities, Culture and Sport at Wychavon District Council, said: “We are very pleased to support Pershore Tennis Centre by providing a grant of £8,500 towards the renovation of court five. The Community Legacy Grant scheme aims to make a tangible and lasting difference to local communities. We hope residents of all ages enjoy this new addition for years to come.”

Club Chair, Sarah McCormick, agrees:

“Many thanks to all the club members that have kindly donated and been involved in our fund raising efforts for the past 2 years. We are extremely proud of this new addition and are very thankful to our loyal, generous members, Wychavon Community Loans and Persimmon Homes for making our plans come to fruition. Court 5 is now a fabulous court with an artificial clay surface and brand new LED lighting. Something to which we should all be very proud of.”
