2015 Gets off to a smashing start for TENNIS ON THE ROAD in stirling
Judy Murray and her Tennis on the Road Team Visit Various Locations in Stirling to Help Inspire a Generation.
Tennis on the Road, a programme supported by Royal Bank of Scotland, shows parents, teachers, volunteers and sports development teams how to deliver fun tennis, coordination and competition sessions to starter children and adults. Many of the games and skill- builders are based on those that Judy played with Andy and Jamie when they were young.
The programme aims to give parents, teachers,
sports coaches and volunteers
the tools needed to get children active and ready to play tennis, showcasing simple, fun activities using everyday household objects. The sessions cost little to set up and will help to develop the vital ABCs of sport – agility, balance and coordination.
With the help of Active Stirling, the roadshow has visited four different venues, with over 150 children and 110 adults getting involved in 7 different sessions in Stirling.
The roadshow, which works in close partnership with Tennis Scotland, aims to generate further interest in the sport and create a workforce with the passion to nurture it. Judy said: “Tennis on the Road is about helping to inspire and support parents, teachers and coaches to increase participation and grow the game. The programme focuses on how to deliver simple fun sessions - the types of games that Andy and Jamie loved to play when they were kids. The last two days
in Stirling have been so much fun and I can’t wait to take Tennis on the Road to more areas across the country this year.”
Martyn Wilson, Sponsorship Manager for RBS, said: “Tennis on the Road not only exposes children to sport, but it is designed to build capacity in coaching at all levels so that the sporting opportunities in schools, clubs and communities for the future.
are sustainable It’s also a fantastic initiative
and one that we will be encouraging our customers and staff across Royal Bank of Scotland to get involved in.”
Doc McKelvey, Head of Development for Tennis Scotland said:
“Tennis Scotland
is delighted to be supporting Judy and her team with Tennis on the Road. The roadshows last year were fantastic and it’s great that Stirling has also been a huge success. Tennis Scotland works closely with Active Stirling and the University of Stirling to support the development of clubs and increase tennis participation in the area and Tennis on the Road is another boost for the area and with the Davis Cup in Glasgow this week hopefully many of the participants will go on to have a lifelong involvement in the sport.”
