Your Guide to What's On in Penrith

Westmorland and Furness Council is running tennis coaching and cardio tennis fitness sessions this summer at Penrith Castle Park.

Junior tennis coaching will be delivered over two days, Thursday 15 and Friday 16 August, by Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) qualified coaches from Ullswater and Eden Junior Tennis Club.

Sessions cost £20 and include a 2-hour lesson on each of the two days.

Session times are the same each day as follows:

• 10:00 – 12:00 for ages 4-10 (primary age)
• 12:00 – 14:00 for ages 11-18 (secondary age)

The lessons are aimed at children aged 4-10 years who are just starting to play tennis, and young people aged 11-18 years with some experience who wish to develop their skills. All equipment is provided.

Sunday tennis coaching and cardio tennis for adults and juniors will be held on 11, 18 and 25 August, and 1 September from 10am-11am and cost £5 per session.

These fun sessions offer 30 minutes of tennis coaching with 30 minutes of cardio tennis, a high energy group fitness class that combines music and tennis with cardiovascular exercise.

The sessions on 11 and 25 August are for adults and young people aged 14+. Sessions on 18 August and 1 September will have two coaches and are also open to children aged 4+ who will be on a separate court.
