Following a referral from the Horsham District Wellbeing team for a client with MS, the Sports Development team at Horsham District Council has helped launch a walking tennis session.
The first session was held on Thursday 9 November at The Holbrook Club. The group, for any adults wanting to give low impact accessible tennis a try, will be running term-time on Thursdays from 12 to 1pm up until Christmas, under the guidance of local tennis coach Mike Costa. The sessions cost just £5 and are pay-as-you-go.
Cassie attended the first session and borrowed a sports wheelchair from the Sports Development team which meant she was able to play alongside her mother and other participants. She commented: “The wheelchair worked really well, the session was really good fun and good exercise too. I really enjoyed it!”
