We are a family who loves watching tennis, especially Wimbledon, so we’re really happy it started this week! You are never too young to pick up a tennis racket, and when we were on the Ventura last week, we seized the opportunity to play tennis on their very own tennis court! Yep, nothing beats a game when you are on the top deck of a cruise ship!
My children are 4 and 6 and they may still be developing their hand eye co-ordination, but they loved it. Tennis is a great way of keeping fit and active for all ages and abilities. We played deck tennis, with a smaller court than normal tennis, but this didn’t stop our little family enjoying ourselves.
I know we could all benefit from a free session though which is why we were excited to hear about the Great British Tennis Weekend (#GBTW) which is a brilliant way to introduce the sport to more people, try something new and learn a few moves. The Great British Tennis Weekend is coming up soon, Saturday 16 July and Sunday 17 July.
Over the Great British Tennis Weekend families can try Highland Spring Mini Tennis sessions, family time, free play, Cardio Tennis and numerous other kinds of activities. Rackets and balls will be provided so all you need to bring is your enthusiasm! You can find a Great British Tennis Weekend venue near you via the special website here.
This is a sponsored post. Iām working with the Lawn Tennis Association to promote the Great British Tennis Weekend #GBTW. Visit ClubSpark now to find free activities on 16-17 July at your local tennis clubs!

July 3, 2016 at 5:18 pmI did wonder about tennis on a cruise ship – thought it could be a trifle tricky to retrieve the ball….! Now I see, nets! Genius š
