A tennis project in King's Lynn has been launched to give teenagers a fun, affordable activity to do in their spare time.
The scheme has been rolled out in the local areas of North Lynn, South Lynn, Gaywood and Fairstead, and will add to the already popular Nighbourhood MUGA Football Leagues that take place in these areas.
The tennis project was started in earnest last month, and sees residents introduced to the sport via mini tennis.
LTA Community Tennis Development Manager, Tony Devenish, who is a long running resident of King's Lynn is calling all teenagers aged between 13 and 19 who might be interested in picking up a racket to get involved. They are looking to engage people that have never played before, and see the scheme as a good way to keep some children in the area out of trouble.
King's Lynn is one of the eight Community Tennis Pilots that the Tennis Federation and the LTA are running across Great Britain. The pilots are trying out different approaches, with the vision of providing a sport that is truly inclusive and accessible in every kind of community.
The project is already engaging locals and Tony is hopeful that it will go from strength to strength.
