We have a set of rackets that can be handed out but pupils should bring their own if they have one. During the week we will split pupils by their prior experience of tennis to ensure everyone has a productive time!
Pupils are required to wear appropriate tennis clothing and shoes. We also recommend bringing a drinks bottle, hat, sun cream and wet weather clothing.
