Get ready for free tennis sessions every weekend! The LTA Barclays Big Tennis Weekend is coming to Leisure World Colchester, starting on 1 November, offering a brilliant chance to get active and try tennis.
This national campaign at Colchester’s Leisure World Tennis Centre will feature coaching sessions for all ages. It’s the perfect opportunity to try tennis and have a great time with friends and family. Whether you're trying tennis for the first time or rediscovering your love for the game, the event promises a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere with sessions designed for all skill levels.
The Free Park Tennis sessions are for all ages and abilities, but children under 13 must be accompanied by an adult. The sessions will be run by volunteer Park Tennis Activators who will lead fun tennis activities so people can enjoy playing. No previous experience is needed, and all equipment will be provided. Just come dressed comfortably with suitable trainers and get ready for some fun on the court.
Councillor Martin Goss, Portfolio Holder for Waste, Neighbourhoods and Leisure, said: “Colchester is thrilled to be hosting the Barclays Big Tennis Weekend. This wonderful national campaign offers an opportunity for people of all ages to experience the joy of tennis, meet new friends, and encourages healthy and active lifestyles within our community. Come along, have some fun, and maybe even discover a new passion for tennis.”
The Big Tennis Weekend will take place every Saturday starting from 1 November at the Leisure World Tennis Centre, Eudo road, Colchester, CO2 7XE. Find more information and reserve your space, visit Clubspark / Leisure World Tennis Centre / Coaching / Summary
