First step on your way to Wimbledon?
Cllr John Fahy, Cabinet Member for Culture and Olympics, said,
"Many people are inspired by Wimbledon to take up tennis. In Greenwich we are responding to that urge by giving local people the chance to play.
As part of the Olympic Legacy we aim to create new opportunities for young people to be inspired by Murray and Henman and to have confidence that one day they may be on the Centre Court in Wimbledon. ‘First Serve’ can turn the dream into reality."
