Where it’s OK to sip and swing

with Leanne Evans

WELCOME to “Open Court Sessions” – the tennis movement where swinging, sipping, snacking and socialising is OK.

An Open Court Session is more than just tennis.

It’s 90 minutes of banger tunes, fun-sized courts, a bit of banter, tasty snacks and new mates.

It’s the book-online and turn-up-without-a-racquet-orany-idea-of-how-to-actuallyplay-tennis kind of activity.

The concept is available on the Gold Coast at the following clubs. To book a session, go to play.tennis.com.au.
