Last Sunday’s event enabled everyone who took part to join in at whatever level suited them.
The fun got off to a great start with keen players turning up earlier than expected and getting involved straight away.
Thankfully, the three coaches – Fiona, Emma and Paul – were supported by some fantastic helpers, and before we knew it the sports hall was buzzing with activity.
Players tried out our sports wheelchairs for a game of wheely tennis under the guidance of Paul.
Visually-impaired tennis was tried by players brand new to tennis, using our tennis balls with bells so players could hear where the balls were instead of seeing them.
The colourful fish and catching nets, rainbow tails, hand pads and scoops were all used with laughter and enthusiasm by SEND players and their families who all really got engaged and wanted more.
Our tots corner engaged children as young as two with tennis-themed games.
And, of course, our flagship walking tennis shows that you don’t need to be at Wimbledon to see a competitive and exciting tennis match!
Walking tennis and SEND sessions start again at the Hive in the week beginning September 16.
