Appeti Tennis - 123 Junior Tennis

123 Tennis provides children of primary school age the opportunity to try tennis for FREE and then progress at an affordable price at convenient times! The programme in Canterbury is delivered by The Appeti Tennis Centre at The Canterbury Campus.

Our indoor courts mean that your child can play no matter what the weather and The Appeti Tennis Centre offers a friendly, safe environment where children can progress whilst making new friends.

The Appeti Tennis Centre specialises in the tuition and development of tennis to children.

123 Junior Tennis was launched in 1998 by Appeti Tennis.

The programme was first introduced in Hastings, East Sussex, where it was partnered with and funded by Hastings Borough Council. The programme proved a great success quickly growing to include 11 of the 14 primary schools in the area.

In 2003 the programme was launched in Canterbury in partnership with The Canterbury High School, now The Canterbury Academy.

This years programme has been funded by Spurling Cannon Chartered Accountants and is offering a total of 100 places to year 1 and 2 children from 10 local schools!

Appeti Tennis, in partnership with Spurling Cannon Chartered Accountants and The Canterbury Academy, are excited to be able to offer 100 children the opportunity to try tennis totally free of charge for four weeks!

Children who sign up will receive four FREE group coaching sessions at The Appeti Tennis Centre. All equipment will be provided and lessons take place on the indoor courts so they will go ahead whatever the weather.

All sessions will be run by our experienced coaches and will give the children the opportunity to improve their confidence and fitness whilst having fun and learning the basics of the main tennis shots.

After the four weeks of free tennis, youngsters can choose to continue tennis but there is no commitment to do this. Our aim is to make it easy for youngsters to try tennis!

Sessions will run for 4 consecutive weeks commencing 2 June 2025.

They will be running Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday!

Places are limited and we are offering these slots to a number of local schools so if your child is interested please sign them up as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.

*Free tennis subject to availability, pupils must be from a registered partner school and in year 1 or 2, open to new pupils to Appeti Tennis only.
