From Tuesday 13th May, participating Tennis Tuesdays venues will provide female-only Tuesday evening tennis, offering informal coaching, weekly themed sessions and fun match play to showcase tennis as a great way to socialise with friends, keep fit and de-stress.
Recent analysis of Sport England’s Active People 7 Survey by the Women’s Sport and Fitness Foundation (WSFF) found that 1.8 million fewer women than men participate in three sessions of physical activity each week. WSFF research suggests that increasing pressures on women are often the reason for this – juggling work, family and a social life often means that physical activity is the first thing to be cancelled as pressure mounts.
Tennis Tuesdays aims to inspire women into more regular exercise and show how tennis can be a great sport that is sociable, fun, accessible to all abilities, and an excellent way to keep fit - without the monotony of the gym!
Over 14 park venues will be hosting Tennis Tuesday events across London, starting in Southwark, Richmond and Wandsworth and then from June across Kensington, Haringey, Hackney, Westminster, and Merton.
