TENNIS AND PADEL ARE GAMES FOR ALL AGES, ABILITIES AND BACKGROUNDS

Essex Tennis is a registered charity whose primary objective is the advancement of the playing of tennis, padel and its derivatives. This will be achieved by supporting and safeguarding providers, coaches, players and parents, in addition to assisting voluntary clubs, organisations and parks to develop facilities and increase membership thereby creating the opportunity for more people to play both tennis and padel.

🎾 Exciting weekend for Essex Tennis!

This weekend we ran our first ever Red Ball Essex Match Play event, and it was fantastic to see so many young players competing, learning, and having fun on court 👏

We also kicked off our U7 Essex Red Ball Squad, starting this exciting new stage in the county’s player pathway. The U8 squad begins this week, and we can’t wait to see more young players getting started on their Essex Tennis journey!

A big thank you to all the coaches, players, and parents for making it such a great start 🙌 #lta #Essex #tennis #essextennis
