Tennis
Join one of our tennis groups for local people living with sight loss. All our groups are lead by experts and designed to be accessible with equipment such as jingle balls available to provide a fair and fun game for everyone.
Gorleston
Please Note: Our Gorleston tennis group is on hold for the winter season. We hope to return in Spring 2026. Our thanks goes out to everyone who took part this year!
Give tennis a try at special sessions led by LTA-accredited coach Mike Reynolds. Vision Norfolk is partnering with Mr Reynolds and Gorleston Tennis Club to hold tennis sessions specifically designed for local people with living with sight loss. We use special tennis balls, some have bells so they make a noise while others are larger so they move more slowly. Depending on the level of their vision impairment, players are allowed to let the ball bounce twice or even three times before hitting it to enable them to gauge where it is on the court.
Sessions take place on the last Tuesday of each month from 10am until 12pm at Gorleston Tennis Club, Orde Ave, Gorleston-on-Sea, Great Yarmouth NR31 6SZ. Please be aware that we are not running transport from the Vision Norfolk Great Yarmouth Hub, but there are local bus stops close by where staff can meet you if needed.
Please contact Catherine for more information on 01493 745973 or at [email protected].
