Danny and Lucie delivered two masterclasses for children: the first for ages 4 to 10, and the second for ages 11 to 16. Both groups responded brilliantly to Danny Sapsford’s high-energy approach. His enthusiasm for the sport was infectious, with the youngsters matching his energy as they moved around the courts.

There were moments of intense concentration, followed by big smiles and a real sense of achievement as ball after ball was struck confidently across the court. Danny and Lucie introduced a variety of drills, offering encouragement and constructive feedback throughout, and were impressed by the promise shown by all the children.

At the end of the first session, Andreea Rosca kindly donated goodie bags filled with tennis-themed treats. The older juniors didn’t miss out either—Danny wrapped up their session with a fun Q&A, rewarding the best answer with a baseball cap. They also had the chance to pick a prize from the lucky dip bag.
