Accessible Summer Tennis in Bexley and Greenwich

27 May Accessible Summer Tennis in Bexley and Greenwich

Summer is the perfect season to get on court, and at TwistFizz, we’re making it easier than ever for people across Greenwich and Bexley to enjoy tennis. With lighter evenings, warmer weather, and a full calendar of sessions and events, this is a great time for beginners, families, juniors, and adults to get involved.

June is always a special month in tennis. With the HSBC Championships and Wimbledon building excitement across the sport, more people feel inspired to pick up a racket, try something new, or return to the game after time away. TwistFizz is helping turn that inspiration into action through affordable access, welcoming sessions, and community-focused programmes.

Opening the courts to more people

One of the biggest barriers to playing tennis is simply access. That is why TwistFizz continues to create opportunities that are friendly, affordable, and open to all. From free parks tennis sessions to structured coaching programmes, the goal is to make the game feel more reachable for local residents.

A great example is our Barclays Free Parks Tennis sessions, which have already brought together new and returning players in a positive, energetic environment. Because of the growing interest, Free Parks Tennis is now being extended to Danson Park, giving even more people the chance to get on court without worrying about cost.

We are also working in partnership with Age UK to offer free Walking Tennis sessions for Greenwich residents. This helps remove another common barrier: court fees. By offering no-cost opportunities, more people can experience the benefits of tennis in a relaxed and supportive setting.

Supporting beginners and returning players

Getting started in tennis can feel intimidating, especially for those who have never played before or have been away from the sport for a while. TwistFizz makes that first step easier by offering sessions that suit a wide range of abilities.

For adults, there are coaching options that include pay-and-play sessions, improver coaching, and the Tennis Xpress beginner course. These sessions are designed to help players build confidence, learn the basics, and enjoy the game at a manageable pace.

For juniors, the programme is equally inclusive. From Red Stage and Orange/Green Mix groups to starter sessions for teenagers, children can progress through age-appropriate coaching in a fun and encouraging environment. There are also free trial opportunities for selected age groups, making it easier for families to test out a session before committing.

Creating a social tennis community

Tennis is more enjoyable when it feels social, and TwistFizz understands that a welcoming community can make a big difference. That is why the programme includes social tennis formats such as Go Play Social and the Spin League Social, giving players a chance to compete, rally, and connect with others.

These sessions are especially valuable for adults who want more than a workout. They provide a healthy routine, a friendly atmosphere, and a reason to keep coming back each week. For many people, that social connection is what turns tennis from a one-off activity into a lasting habit.

Affordable access through the Bexley Tennis Pass

Cost can often stop families from playing as often as they would like. The Bexley Tennis Pass is TwistFizz’s answer to that challenge. For £35 per year, households can book up to five hours of tennis per week across seven venues in Bexley.

This is one of the most practical ways TwistFizz is supporting affordable family tennis. It gives local households a simple, low-cost way to stay active all year round, while also encouraging regular use of the courts. For families who want a healthy, flexible, and fun activity, the pass offers excellent value.

Events that bring people together

Summer is not only about coaching and regular sessions. TwistFizz is also using events to bring the community together and make tennis feel exciting and accessible.

The TwistFizz Tennis Open Day’s 2026, held in collaboration with Babolat, are designed to give families and friends a chance to come along, enjoy fun games, and try new equipment in a relaxed setting. Events like this help break down the formality that sometimes surrounds tennis and remind people that  sport is for everyone.

There is also plenty to look forward to on the wider tennis calendar, including the HSBC Championships and Wimbledon. These moments create seasonal excitement and encourage more people to step onto court , whether for the first time or after a long break.

Why this matters

Tennis can improve physical health, build confidence, create friendships, and offer a strong sense of belonging. By keeping sessions affordable, welcoming, and varied, TwistFizz is helping more people experience those benefits across Greenwich and Bexley.

This summer is about more than just playing tennis. It is about opening doors, building confidence, and creating a local tennis culture where everyone feels able to take part. From juniors learning their first skills to adults rediscovering the game, TwistFizz is making the courts feel more accessible for all.

Join us this summer

If you have been thinking about getting back into tennis, trying it for the first time, or bringing your family along to something active and fun, this summer is the ideal time. With free sessions, coaching options, social play, and community events, TwistFizz has something for everyone.

June is packed with opportunities to get involved, and with the Wimbledon season on the horizon, there has never been a better time to be part of the game.
