The upcoming resumption of free tennis sessions in Exeter promises to reinvigorate the love for the sport within the city.
Set to commence on Saturday, April 20th, from 12 noon until 1pm, the Tennis For Free sessions will be held at the Cowick Barton Playing Fields. Individuals aged 12 years and older, regardless of their tennis proficiency, are welcome to participate in these complimentary sessions, led by qualified coaches Lee Burrell and Tamzin Sherzad from the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA).
Free equipment will be provided for participants, although they are also encouraged to bring their own rackets. Lee Burrell expressed his delight at the return of these free sessions and encouraged interested individuals to secure their spot in advance to prevent any disappointments.
Tennis for Free (TFF), a charitable organization devoted to providing all-inclusive tennis sessions, will be organizing similar free sessions at Heavitree Pleasure Ground on the opposite side of the river. These sessions will take place every Saturday, from 10am to 11am.
The Exeter City Council generously provides numerous courts across the city for free use, including those at Heavitree Pleasure Ground and Cowick Barton Playing Fields, among other locations.
To avoid missing out, participants must book in advance for the TFF sessions. For those interested in the Cowick Barton sessions (open to individuals aged 12 and above, with varying skill levels), bookings can be made through the LTA Clubspark website. Alternatively, those keen on participating in the Heavitree sessions can secure their spot through the LTA Clubspark site.
