Free tennis roadshow at Billesley Tennis and Fitness Centre today and tomorrow

This is an opportunity for children aged 4 to 10 to try tennis, with sessions run by Lawn Tennis Association-qualified coaches. Whether a child is a complete beginner, or has some experience of the sport, there will be something for all abilities at this weekend's event. 

The roadshow will feature tennis taster sessions, a speed-of-serve machine and an inflatable target wall. All equipment will be provided for the sessions and it’s completely free to attend. Families do not need to book, just turn up and enjoy the tennis! 

Session times: 

Saturday, 8 February – 10am to 11am, 11.30am to 12.30pm, 2pm to 3pm.   

Sunday, 9 February 10am to 11am, 11.30am to 12.30pm.  

Andrew Bradshaw, General Manager at Billesley Tennis and Fitness Centre, said: “Our free to attend roadshow is the perfect place for children to begin their tennis journey. You never know, your child could go onto become a champion like Andy Murray, OBE or Jordan Whiley, MBE, both of whom have trained at Billesley over the years. 

“Across the two days, we’ve got a special joining offer for new customers.  Sign up on the day, and you’ll pay nothing until March, with no admin fees. It’s the ideal time to get started with this great sport, and we can’t wait to welcome new faces to the centre.”
