Bannockburn Stadium - Senior Sports
Soft Tennis
Soft Tennis is run by an individual by the name of Keith Humphries. Keith operates and supports soft tennis for men and women that are 50+ and still highly active. Soft tennis is a program that uses motor skills when hitting a ball that is softer and larger than your average tennis ball. Specific rackets are used in soft tennis and are the individual’s responsibility to bring their own.
Lifelong friendships are created when being involved with this activity and competitive natures are sure to appear. The Y support Keith and Soft Tennis and always look forward to seeing new faces each week.
Soft tennis is played on Mondays and Fridays 10:00am-11:30am.
