Esporta Asks: "Anyone For Tennis?"

Date: 04 June, 2004

To coincide with the tennis fever that grips the nation at this time of year, Esporta is giving away thousands of pounds of tennis gear to equip all those Henman wannabes and encourage people to exercise and hit a ball around.

Any new member who signs up on an Esporta tennis membership will receive a Pro Tennis Pack, including a Performance Wilson tennis racquet and a US Open ball tube and backpack, worth over £200.

Both new members and exisiting members who upgrade will receive vouchers which will cover the cost of two group tennis coaching sessions, five guest passes and two sportswear vouchers, coming to a value of £100.

Scott Wallace, Esporta's marketing director comments: "Esporta wants to make tennis accessible to everyone, this unique membership encourages people not just to think about playing the game but to actually pick up a racquet and give it a go."

Esporta has 61 clubs throughout the UK, 20 of which have racquets facilities, for further information on the facilities of your nearest club, call 0870 739 0039 or visit www.esporta.com.

Note to Editors:

Demonstrating Esporta's commitment to Tennis, Esporta runs the Henman Racquets Academy.  Working alongside the Tennis First Trust, of which Tim Henman is a patron, the academy gives talented young players the chance to join an Esporta club at preferential rates without the need for parental membership.  Further details on the academy can be found at the Esporta racquets based clubs.
