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. I’m 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!
This sounds so cool, I think I’ll have to get involved. I used to play tennis a lot when I was younger and really enjoyed it, perhaps this is an excuse to get me back into it…
How lovely that you all got to play on a cruise ship! You’d certainly feel the wind in your hair on that court:-) These free sessions are a great way for people to see if they enjoy tennis without the cost! #GBTW
Lovely photos. I think its great to get children involved at an early age and see where it takes them. I love to watch Wimbledon too x
This is fun to play tennis on cruise! What a great way to get them involve in tennis!
They look like they’re having the best time!
This sounds like so much fun! I cannot wait for our open day at the local tennis club too. #GBTW
Oh they look like they’re having just the best time! I love how tennis is something the whole family can get involved in x
This is such a good initiative, especially for kids. I always get a bit of tennis fever during Wimbledon!
I did wonder about tennis on a cruise ship – thought it could be a trifle tricky to retrieve the ball….! Now I see, nets! Genius 😉
Oh man! Tennis on a cruise ship? That’s pretty mind blowing.
Oh that sounds like great fun! Your kids look like they really enjoyed it too.
