Jade Gooding is running a mini red doubles tournament where parents can come and play with your children! Parents don't need any tennis experience - you will play with a mini racket and red ball on a mini court.
Playing alongside your children is a great introduction into learning how to play points and matches. It will also give them some doubles experience !
Please contact Jade to book πΎ
