Anyone for tennis?
TENNIS FOR FREE
Founded by writer, comedian and broadcaster Tony Hawks and fashion executive, Patrick Hollwey, the national charity Tennis For Free aims to make all public tennis courts in the UK available - FREE OF CHARGE. Tennis For Free have been establishing partnerships with councils across the UK, offering them funding and support to open up park tennis courts to their communities. Tennis For Free in turn provide coaching sessions free of charge to those of any ability and any age.
California Raisins teamed up with this charity and have supported them since the start. During 2006, California Raisins created a brand new awards programme 'TENNIS FOR FUN' aimed at encouraging people of all ages and abilities to try tennis and importantly, keep playing.
For each week that players attend Tennis For Free coaching sessions, they receive a sticker, the more stickers they get the more prizes they can collect. Among the prizes are t-shirts, sports water bottles and free tennis lessons. In addition, all that attend are given free California Raisins to help keep their energy levels up throughout the sessions.
These awards are aimed at encouraging people to keep coming back and really give tennis a go.
To start playing tennis today, simply click on the Tennis For Free website www.tennisforfree.com to find a free tennis court near you.
