TENNIS players of all standards are invited to a free open day at the University Parks today.

The event, from 10am to 6pm, is part of allplay.com – the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) online campaign to help more people play tennis.

Jo-Anne Downing, LTA tennis development manager for Oxfordshire, said: “allplaytennis.com helps encourage more people to play tennis by providing information about where to play, other players in the area and coaching.

“The website is a fantastic resource, with more than 8,000 people around the country signing up for free.”

The University Parks event will give players the opportunity to get a cardio workout on court and professional coaching tips.

Rackets will be provided and coaches will be on hand, but spaces for the cardio sessions are limited – to book call the University Sports Complex on 01865 240476.
