If you have been looking for a structured way to get back into sport this autumn, Active Hampton has just opened bookings for a new programme of six-week courses starting on Tuesday, 8 September.
The activities on offer include walking football, badminton and pickleball — the fast-growing racket sport that has been finding fans across the borough in recent months. All sessions are led by experienced coaches and are described as welcoming to beginners, making them a reasonable option for anyone who has not played in a while or who wants to build up confidence before joining a more competitive setting.
Alongside the structured courses, Active Hampton is also introducing daytime casual block bookings from September — useful for social groups or friends who want to secure a regular court slot without committing to a coached course.
Active Hampton is in Hampton, a short journey from Barnes via the A316 or by connecting train to Hampton station. Bookings are handled through the Better website. Places on the coached courses are likely to fill quickly, so early booking is advisable.
