    Friendly professional tennis coach Amanda Mead will teach you the important strokes and techniques so you can enjoy a basic game of tennis with your friends.

By the end of the course you should be able to produce a more than passable serve and string a nice array of shots together. So polish up your inner champion and get down to the courts!

  • Athletics for Adults

    Do the words themselves bring you out in a sweat? Don't panic! This course is about fun as well as fitness. The inner athlete lurking inside every couch potato will be gently coaxed out with a weekly range of warm ups, stretches and exercises. There'll also be a different focus every week, starting with an assessment of each participant's preferred event then moving on to running-based events, jumping and throwing, and the final "medal" session. Get fit and fabulous! There's no age limit, but as always, if you haven't exercised for years or have any health issues, check it out with your doctor first.
