Six youngsters have been helping to spruce up a Derbyshire tennis club.

The boys, from Ecclesbourne School, have been painting and refurbishing parts of Duffield Tennis and Squash Club during several days of work experience.

As well as grabbing brushes to paint the inside of the clubhouse, the youngsters also helped to coach groups playing at the club, in Town Street.

They also shadowed tennis coaches James Grindell and Simon Thornwell during their week-long experience, designed to help them learn the day-to-day running of a club.

Grindell said: "It is the first time the club has helped juniors on work experience and we've all had a very useful time.

"The boys enjoyed themselves and worked quite hard at their tasks."
