It's time to come and play some tennis at the annual Love Tennis event this Sunday, September 10, from 10am 4pm. The courts at local Tauranga clubs are ready for adults and kids to come and have a go!

It's a fun, easy opportunity for everyone to experience what a great game tennis is, says Tennis WBOP manager Sussa Bailey.

'Tennis is a sport for all ages and abilities, and Love Tennis is the perfect time to find out more about what our local clubs can offer. Heaps of fun, no experience necessary and it's totally free,” says Sussa.

This event is open to all tennis players – whether you want to learn, used to play tennis or are an experienced player.

'Life is busy, and we have new ways for people to engage with tennis, including a casual ‘book a court system', as well as traditional membership options. We are always welcoming and inclusive for new players to join in, either casual or membership.

'We will have music playing and a free sausage sizzle running. There will be giveaways, including the chance to win a trip for two to the Aussie Open.

'We can provide equipment to use, the gates will be open, and we will have lots of different games and activities for kids and adults.”
