My husband and children LOVE tennis, I like the idea of it, but I’m a bit traumatised from being an exceptionally terrible player at school. The children have all had coaching at various points, although it has been rather inconsistent. Most recently my little girls had lessons at school which was amazing and really sparked their interest again, leading to both asking if they can do a mini course over summer, which I am about to investigate.
Rob and Zak recently joined our local tennis club and have attended as many sessions as they have been able, including a great family tournament last weekend. Rob also played 27 hours of tennis on holiday recently, which was a bit mad, but he loved every second. We would really like tennis to become party of our family life, which I suppose means I should start playing too! I love that tennis is so easy to play wherever you are. Zak spends hours banging a ball against the wall of our house and Sydney and Hannah often set up a little net and play a game together.
Did you know you can try tennis for free this summer as part of the The Great British Tennis Weekend event. Thousands of free events will be taking place across the country. There are Highland Spring Mini Tennis sessions, family time, free play, Cardio Tennis as well as other options. I quite like the idea of Cardio Tennis, but probably need to improve my skills a little first.
Rackets and balls will be provided, so there’s no expense, just a great opportunity to try a new sport. Check out ClubSpark to find your nearest local event, there are several events very local to us, so hopefully it’s the same for you too. The next big weekend is Saturday 16 July & Sunday 17 July so be sure to book your place soon.
Maybe we’ll see you on a court?

How wonderful that your girls have asked about doing tennis – I hope you manage to get a #GBTW session for them!! Should be lots of fun.
27 hours playing tennis and on holiday too! That is dedication. Personally I’m terrace tennis, but Roo is loving the sessions that she is having at school so we’ve booked for the #GBTW even if it’s just for them to laugh at my in ability to hit a ball
its great that your children have already expressed an interest in tennis so they will love the tater sessions. My two attend weekly and have a lot of fun x
If my problem was a Death Star, this article is a photon todpreo.
I love the memories of myself watching tennis with my grandpa 🙂 I am a terrible player though. I’m glad that your children love playing it.
The first time my girls played tennis was on holiday too, I think the sunshine and tennis go hand in hand. I definitely think you should get on the court with them, you will be amazed at how much fun it is!
Wow! 27 hours of tennis! I assume that wasn’t all in one giant stint? I was a terrible player at school too, so I feel your pain! I’m getting better though 🙂 xxx
