Short Tennis for Children


Sports journalist Steve Rider reports for Anglia Television in Norwich at the Trowse Training Hall where young sports enthusiasts are playing short tennis, which is a new scaled down version of the game, using a lighter plastic tennis racket and a sponge ball which is more manageable for junior tennis players. As well as some of the young participants, Rider chats to Derek Bone from the Lawn Tennis Association.
