Sutton Churches Tennis Club is offering a trio of free events in June just in time for Wimbledon.

There will be a parent/junior play tennis morning on June 5 and a weekly girls only tennis course from June 10, while Baseliner Junior Club sessions will take place every Friday.

Firstly, there is the Parent/Junior Play Tennis morning on Saturday 5 June which is part of the Wandle Valley Festival.

The event is for families to come down and have some coaching and play together. The morning is totally free and there will be prizes to be won.

As it is on the French Open finals weekend the coaching will take part on the club’s shale courts.

Shale is very much like the clay the pros will be using at the Roland Garros and the club’s shale courts are some of the few left in the country.

There will also be a French themed buffet tea to keep everyone refreshed.

The morning starts at 11am, the free coaching will be between 11am and 12.30pm.

Next, Sutton Churches are holding a Here Come the Girls! Tennis course. This course is a six week course and is totally free for girls from 8-16 years old.

The course is on Thursdays from 4.30pm-5.30pm and starts on Thursday 10 June. Girls must sign up to this in good time to reserve a place and they can do this by contacting the Membership Secretary on 020 8274 0630 or by email at info@clubtennis.co.uk.

The course will cover all the basic shots and there will be prizes given throughout the course!

Finally, to complete the trio is the club’s Baseliner Junior club session on Fridays from 4.30pm-6.30pm.

This session is free for Junior members at the club and with Junior membership from as little as £35 this session is another fantastic opportunity.

The supervised session is a mixture of singles and doubles and gives Juniors the chance to play the game and practice anything they may have learnt in coaching sessions or seen on the T.V!

The session is a drop-in session which runs in school term so there is no need for Juniors to commit or sign up, just turn up.

With Wimbledon just around the corner these events are a fantastic chance for people to give tennis a try for free. For any more information then please contact Kirsty, the Membership Secretary on 020 8274 0630 or by email at info@clubtennis.co.uk
