A NEW tennis express course will be available for adult beginners at Bromsgrove Tennis Club from this Friday (April 28).

During 'Tennis Xpress', leaners will have the chance to learn how to play the game in six weeks with a fully-qualified coach.

Luke Pettit, who coaches at the St Godwald's Road club, said: "Tennis is a sociable game and great fun, whatever your level.  It’s also a great way of keeping fit, so if you fancy giving it a go come and join us."

The express course focuses on the basics of tennis, getting some exercise, having fun and meeting new people.

By the end of the sessions, beginners will have learned how to rally, serve and score.

The lessons will take place from 8pm to 9pm. Racquets can be borrowed from the club. Contact Luke Pettit on 07487 710447 or lukepettit@hotmail.com to book a place.
