Wanganui Tennis Club is trying to persuade former players who might be keen for a fun hit around to take up the racket again with free "Back to Tennis" coaching on Wednesdays during October.
The sessions will be for an hour, at 10am and 5.45pm.
Spokesman John Williams said theclub had heard that some non-members were interested in getting back into tennis but were hesitant to join the midweek or weekend club days because they thought those sessions were all competition games.
"This is not the case, as all club days involve organised social tennis games, and players of all ability levels are always welcome to participate."
