Sidford Adult and Junior tennis Autumn coaching programme starts soon with new Cardio sessions, writes Daryl Bass

Sidford tennis club would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone of the benefits of playing tennis and are pleased to be running our Autumn, Covid restricted, coaching programme. To help keep the community healthy we have added a new Cardio session on Wednesday evenings from 6:30-7:30pm.

Our autumn coaching programme starts on Friday, September 11, for five weeks and covers both adults and juniors.

For those of us who regularly play tennis the family benefits of playing are obvious in terms of the social and regular exercise – together with some competitive play and the noticeable technical skills improvements.

So, if you are looking to improve your health and social lifestyle, or just looking to develop a new skill by trying something new and meeting new friends, then why not start by joining our Cardio coaching programme. These are open to both members and non-members, cost £5, and are very popular so early booking on a week-by-week basis through sue.wiltshire@talk21.com is recommended.

Our traditional junior programme on Friday afternoons also resumes catering for all age groups from 6yrs to 18yrs.

All of our coaching sessions are subject to Covid restrictions which will be fully explained by our LTA Accredited coaching team – headed up by Sue Wiltshire.

The full programme of coaching activities for the 5-week block are as follows:

Adult Beginner & Rusties – Mondays (starting September 14) 5.45pm to 6.45 pm. Cost £30
