Accessible tennis for all
Tennis for a Tenner
The Tennis Lewisham 'Tennis for a Tenner' is an affordable programme designed to introduce new players of any age and ability into the sport. We run an Open Day on a given weekend with hour long (free) sessions for mini tots through to adults:
- 4-6 year olds
- 7-10 year olds
- 11+ year olds
- Adults
- Cardio tennis
Each weekend for five weeks thereafter we run £2 drop in sessions for the same groups of players at the same venue, meaning local residents get five weeks of tennis coaching for just £10!
We have run these programmes at Ladywell Fields, Catford Wanderers Sports Club, Manor House Gardens, Mayow Park, Sydenham Wells Park and Telegraph Hill in the past, and have run sessions in priority wards such as that near Catford.
