Tennis Festivals

This is a busy week for Berkshire Tennis as we are co-ordinating a series of tennis festivals in Bracknell.

A team of approx. 6 coaches from the Bracknell area will deliever mini tennis sessions to over 500 children from school year 3. Each child will play for 2 hours and get goodies and follow on details.

These sessions are hard work for the coaches, however very rewarding to see so many children enjoy picking up a racket for the first time.
