Play tennis at Mirfield

Anyone can join in at the courts in the Memorial Park, off Huddersfield Road, and they don’t even need to have a racket as these can be provided.

Qualified LTA club coach Simon Newton will be on hand to teach the basics of the game and set up some gentle fitness drills and fun games.

The Monday sessions run from 10am and cost just £4 (£3 for pensioners and the unwaged) which includes coffee and biscuits.

Players can stay and play for as long as they like and in the past Back to Tennis – initiated in partnership with Kirklees Council - has proved to be a highly enjoyable social experience.

To contact Simon ring 07952821686 or simply turn up next Monday (March 21) at 10am.

Wearing track suits or jogging bottoms and suitable sports footwear would be an advantage. The clubhouse has changing facilities and showers.
