Stay active and serve up fun with walking tennis
Age UK Shropshire Telford & Wrekin’s popular Walking Tennis group is inviting new members to join the fun!
Meeting every Monday Afternoon, 2.30 - 3.20pm at Market Drayton Tennis Club, this well-loved class offers a slower-paced version of tennis, making it perfect for older people looking to stay active, meet new friends, and enjoy a welcoming social atmosphere.
Whether you're picking up a racket for the first time or revisiting an old hobby, Walking Tennis is for everyone. Participants can look forward to an hour of gentle exercise, lots of laughter, and plenty of opportunities to connect with like-minded individuals.
Emma Wilde, Manager of Age UK Shropshire Telford & Wrekin Wellbeing Services said: “It’s great to be able to offer Walking Tennis in Market Drayton, this slowed down version of the game still provides a good work. With the weekly coach’s support, I’ve seen such an improvement in the players game and confidence”.
One of the local players said: “I’ve always been competitive, previously playing golf, but Walking Tennis still allows me to fulfil my competitive nature but in a fun way. It’s one of the best sports I have ever done, and I look forward to playing each week.
