Try WALKING TENNIS

For those returning to tennis after injury, or anyone wanting a slower pace of tennis,  walking tennis might be just the thing for you. 

Currently there is a regular informal session at 2pm on Thursday.  To join a session or find out more please contact Mel on the Clubspark Club contact form. 

Walking tennis is a version of tennis that’s designed to be accessible for all. It’s still tennis – but with a few simple modifications: you can’t run or jump; you use slightly different balls, and you can let the ball bounce twice for extra time. 

Like other increasingly popular walking sports, such as walking football and walking rugby, it can be purely social. Or it can be pretty competitive, and a great way for people to keep playing the sport they love for longer. 

For older people, walking tennis is a perfect game to take up to keep their bodies and minds active – while also enjoying the social side of being part of a tennis community. It provides lots of laughs and long rallies. 

Modified forms of tennis have been played for years, but the officially recognised Walking Tennis, registered as an LTA product, was created by Helen Abbott and Peter Coniglio in Bristol, in 2019.
