How it works
Cardio Tennis sessions include a mix of movement, drills and fun games, including:

- low-compression balls for better control and more play
- an enthusiastic coach or trained volunteer.
Each session starts with dynamic movement to build coordination, then moves into activities that boost fitness and confidence.
