TENNIS lessons for young and old will continue at Old Brentwoods Tennis Club after a successful summer of activities.
Boys and girls from four-years-old and upwards have come from all over Brentwood to the 22-acre site in Ashwells Road to enjoy sessions with the coaches while parents were able to watch from the clubhouse or balcony with a drink in the sunshine.
Coaches Martin Davis and Rowena Marshall were using larger, softer red balls and mini rackets for the younger children in the mini-tennis sessions while showing them the correct way to execute the basic shots.
More fun activities kept the children engaged with orange balls, instilling in them further skills and chances to use their newfound abilities.
Ms Marshall said: "It is great being able to start young children off with a love of tennis and see them coming back time and time again wanting more."
Head coach Mr Davis said: "If you can show youngsters what good fun the game can be, they will keep coming back and with the right guidance will have the opportunity to become good players."
Mini-tennis for four to eight-year-olds is held on Thursdays from 4pm and Saturdays from 1.15pm for just £4 each.
Junior tennis for nine to 14-year-olds is held on Thursdays from 5pm and Saturdays from 2.15pm for £5 each.
Adults have their own sessions and individual lessons can also be booked.
