IT’S National Mini Tennis Week and a variety of activities are taking place in Wigan to promote and celebrate this exciting children’s sport.
Local MP Lisa Nandy is backing the campaign and visited Robin Park Indoor Sports and Tennis Centre on Thursday 13th June to watch mini tennis in action, with a taster session for schools taking place, as well as a ‘Come and Try It’ cardio session.
Stuart Murray, Chief Executive at leisure provider WLCT, said: “Mini tennis is a fantastic way for children aged three-10 to discover the joys of the sport using smaller courts, nets and rackets and lower bouncing balls. We’ve already got squads established in Wigan and are looking forward to this campaign opening up the sport to even more youngsters.”
Coaches from WLCT are spreading the word about mini tennis throughout June. Activities include a trip to St Wilfrid’s School in Standish, a promotional event in the Galleries shopping centre on Saturday 15 and Saturday 22 June, and a further taster session at Robin Park on Sunday 23 June from 2-3pm.
If you would like to find out more about these events or how to get involved in mini tennis, contact Robin Park Sports and Tennis Centre Reception on 01942 828550 or the Tennis Office on 01942 824758.
National Mini Tennis Week, sponsored by Highland Spring, is taking place in schools, parks and tennis centres across the country.
