Kensington Leisure Centre will once again be hosting Give It Your Max Tennis Camps during the May half term holiday. The camps will take place on May 30th & 31st, with one at 10am-12pm and the second at 1pm-3pm.

GLL have been working with tennis charity Give It Your Max to secure funding, which will allow local children the chance to participant in fun tennis camps. Camps like this will help develop coordination and tennis skills while also promoting a healthy and active lifestyle.

The camps are for children aged 5-11 years old and can be booked by emailing ben.lett@gll.org . The camps are very popular, and numbers are limited, so book as soon as possible.

GIYM is a UK tennis charity, which has the purpose of introducing primary school aged children to tennis. GIYM’s and GLL’s objectives with the camps are to help enable children to develop their social, physical and cognitive skills in a healthy, sporting environment. 

GIYM believe that children benefit from an active lifestyle and that one way to achieve this is through involvement with sport, which in our case means “tennis”. 

Camp 1, 10am-12pm, 30th & 31st May

Camp 2, 1pm-3pm, 30th & 31st May

Virginia Wade OBE, former Wimbledon ladies singles champion and ‘Give It Your Max’ Patron said on The Give It Your Max Programme: ‘Getting more racquets into the hands of young children at an early age and giving them the opportunity to have coaching in a fun environment, can only be a good thing for the game. Charities like GIYM help find young talented players, who would otherwise not have had the opportunity to pick up a tennis racquet. Anyone of these children might be future tennis champions’.
