Intro to Walking Tennis - Spencer Square

A gentler way to get active, meet people and enjoy tennis.

Our Intro to Walking Tennis course is designed for anyone looking for a fun, friendly and lower-impact way to become more active. It is particularly suitable for older adults, complete beginners, people returning to activity after a break or injury, and those managing long-term health conditions.

Walking Tennis is a slower-paced version of tennis where there is no running required. Sessions focus on gentle movement, balance, coordination and learning the basic skills needed to enjoy the game, all at a pace that works for you.

There is no need for any previous tennis experience, and the emphasis is firmly on enjoyment rather than competition. Our friendly coaches will help you build confidence gradually while enjoying the social side of being active with others.

The course is a great first step towards becoming more active, meeting new people and, if you wish, progressing into regular Walking Tennis sessions or light social doubles. This reflects the programme's wider aim of improving mobility, confidence and social connection while creating pathways into ongoing activity.

All equipment is provided — just come along in comfortable clothing and suitable footwear.
