FUN and free tennis sessions are being served up at the Islington Tennis Centre in Market Road from tomorrow (Friday).

The Tennis Xpress drop-in coaching will use slower balls and smaller nets to make the game more accessible to 11 to 25-year-olds regardless of their fitness levels. The hour-long sessions start at 6pm and will continue every Friday until April 4.

Highbury Fields tennis co-ordinator Karen Dawson said: “Whether you’re a complete beginner or looking to get back into the sport, Tennis Xpress is a great way to keep fit and make new friends.

“Participants will develop their skills through group coaching and by the end of the six weeks will be able to play games with friends and family.

“There is no need to book or have a partner and all equipment is provided.”
