what's all the
racquet about.
Did you catch any of the tennis over the summer? Rafa Nadal and Roger Federer rushing back and forth on the courts at Wimbledon. Andy Murray and the GB team securing a great victory against Luxembourg in the Davis Cup. Did it inspire you to have a go too?
Tennis is a great game that everyone can play. It’s brilliant exercise, heaps of fun and can be a great way to meet some new mates. If you want to give it a go, there’s loads of opportunities waiting for you in Glasgow.
Our Mini Tennis Programmes are a great introduction to the sport. They start on smaller courts with lower nets and use soft tennis balls to help you get to grips with the game.
Starting at Mini Tennis Red you can progress through the levels, orange, green and finally yellow
at which point you’ll be ready to dive into some competitive tennis or just enjoy a proper swing about with your mates.
At Glasgow Sport we have two indoor tennis centres, Glasgow Club Scotstoun and Gorbals, where you can play all year round. The courts are ideal for the autumn and winter months when the weather is less friendly. If a sunny day does come along, there are plenty of outdoor tennis courts across the city which are completely free to use. Finally there are a couple of community clubs at Kelvingrove and Queens Park which are always happy to welcome new players.
So if you think you fancy having a go at
tennis check out www.glasgowlife.org.uk
or give us a call on 0141 287 5576.
