Meadowlands Leisure Pool in Tavistock is set to launch a brand new summer tennis school for local children on Thursday 30 June.
Suitable for children aged between 6 and 10 years old and 11 and 15 years old, the classes will be taken by Josh Brown and run in conjunction with Tavistock Tennis Club. Josh is a fully qualified tennis coach who has been teaching the game for more than six years.
Running every Thursday, from 4.30-5.15pm for 6-10 year olds and from 5.15-6.00pm for 11-15 year olds, the classes will run for 8 weeks and cost £40.
Dave Smith, business manager at Meadowlands Leisure Pool said:?'With Wimbledon having kicked off on 20 June, we're keen to encourage youngsters in the Tavistock community to get involved locally and brush up on their behind-the-baseline game, just like great players such as Rafael Nadal.
'Tennis is a great sport for kids to learn hand eye coordination as well as benefit from good cardio activity. Opening our courts to local kids this summer will allow them to not only enjoy the sport, but also give them to opportunity to meet new people. Josh's expertise will be invaluable for those looking to improve their game or indeed, learn from scratch.'
