THE recent wet weather is not putting a stop to youngsters, aged four to eight years, practising their racket and ball skills ready for the summer season.
From now until Easter, Saturday morning drop-in sessions are being run indoors, some at the Wey Valley Tennis Centre and some at Redlands Sports Hall by coaches from Weymouth Tennis Club. Junior coach Ryan Bissett said: “In mini tennis we play a lot of fun games to help develop coordination and agility alongside good technique.
“And because we use soft balls with small rackets, the children quickly learn how to rally with each other.”
The first lesson is free, with no need to book, and all equipment is provided by the club. The session time is 11am to noon with sessions costing £4, pay and play.
