Thanks for posting there are some newish courts in Ladywell Fields in deepest darkest Lewisham

The coaches there have had some success see below. Along with "Be active" who have had a long term presence in Burgess Park In Southwark, If it continues we should get some high quality athletes playing tennis the challenge is facilitating the development of good youngsters with intensive high quality coaching.

2015 has been a memorable year for Chris and Michael at South East London Tennis, culminating with Chris being presented with the Overall UK Aegon Coach of the Year award at the ATP World Tour Finals at the O2. We are so pleased to be recognised for bringing tennis to the local community by offering juniors and adults an opportunity to play tennis and keep fit. We will continue to work hard at developing more tennis playing opportunities in Lewisham and look forward to seeing you soon.

We work very closely with Give it Your Max (www.giveityourmax.org) who are a UK charity, delivering free tennis to local Primary Schools. The aim is to increase the profile of tennis in Lewisham and give children an opportunity to play who normally wouldnt have access to the sport. Local Primary schools who have benefitted so far from this initiative are Gordonbrock, Beecroft Garden, John Stainer, Mary Magdalenes, Rushey Green, Myatt Garden, Holbeach, St Saviours, Prendergast Vale, Tidemill, Prendergast Ladywell and Brindishe Green. Over 1000 Primary school children have received free tennis lessons since we started in 2014.
