A Lancaster tennis club is celebrating the award of a grant from Tennis Lancashire through its Participation Funding scheme.

Lancaster Tennis Club has been awarded £1100 to fund free coaching sessions for adult beginners and returners as well as free coaching sessions specifically for girls and women who, generally, don’t play as much tennis.

These will be provided by Michael Cartmell Academy with Michael as the club’s lead coach.

In addition there is funding to allow the club to run a free family open day later in the summer and also for some much needed new adult tennis racquets.

The club is sure that all of these initiatives will encourage more locals to play and enjoy tennis at this friendly and welcoming club.

Michael said: “We are very grateful to Tennis Lancashire for this funding to help the club to develop its coaching programme, and especially for new starters, who will really appreciate attending sessions free of charge.”

Anyone interested in taking part in these programmes should contact Michael tel: 07523 866116 or email: [email protected].
