Local ladies are being encouraged to get their game on and try squash and racketball for free at Kenilworth Tennis Squash and Croquet Club this March.

The Crackley Lane Club is inviting players of all abilities to the women's-only event which will run between 12.30pm and 2.30pm on Saturday, March 11.

The event is being organised to celebrate International Women's Day and encourage more females to get on the court.

There will be a mixture of female coaches and experienced female team players there on the day to run the activities.

Attendees will not need to bring their own equipment, aside from a clean pair of trainers!

KTSCC coach Guy Pearson told Nub News: "We will be embracing International Women's Day and showing our commitment to get more women on the court by hosting our own event.

"This is open to members, friends, family and anyone in the community who would like to come and give squash a go.

"We hope this provides you with a platform to meet new people, engage with our members and give a new sport a go!"

Guy said the club held a similar event just before the first lockdown which was "really popular" with a number of the women who attended still playing in local leagues for the club.

The announcement comes just weeks after KTSCC began work on its two new padel courts.

The Crackley Lane club announced in August that the new facilities would be developed by Padel Tech.

And on January 6 MP for Kenilworth and Southam Sir Jeremy Wright and Mayor of Kenilworth Cllr Sam Louden-Cooke were in attendance for the official ground breaking event.
