  • All kit and eyewear provided

  • Family session from £30

How it works

  1. 1

    Book online. Pick a venue, date and time that suits your family.

  2. 2

    Turn up and play. Your coach runs fun games for every age, so everyone joins in. No experience needed.

  3. 3

    Play on your own. Leave knowing what equipment to use, and confident to keep playing.

What to expect

Your coach will bring energy and fun to the session, with games to warm everyone up and get you moving. Your coach will adapt to what your family needs, so a five-year-old and a grown-up can play in the same session. By the end, your family will have learnt new racket skills and had a lot of fun moving around the court.
