All this month Highland Spring Mini Tennis is taking place in schools, parks and tennis venues up and down the country- offering a great way for families and children to get active and enjoy tennis.

Free parent and child coaching sessions for the whole family are available in a bid to promote tennis as a family sport and show parents how easy it is to play tennis with their children.

The idea behind the scheme is to inspire and motivate more children to take up the sport and get active. By offering smaller courts, nets and rackets and lower bouncing balls, Highland Spring Mini Tennis is the ideal introduction to the sport.

The programme has been developed by the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA), enabling players to develop vital skills and techniques at an early age. You never know- you may have a budding England champ on your hands.
