Warwick Boat Club is offering free memberships to children under the age of eight just in time for the summer.

The town centre sports club has 11 tennis courts and two squash courts as well as rowing and bowling facilities.

The club offers discounted group coaching for juniors and is currently looking to take on younger members.

Its coaches, who also offer one-to-one tuition, have years of experience and aim to support and encourage children of all ages and abilities.

Alison Insley runs junior squash coaching (the youngest is just five years old) on a Saturday morning.

Having coached some of the children for several years, she said she has seen huge improvements, not just in squash skills but also in confidence and their approach to team work.

"One parent recently told me it was the only activity their child never wants to skip," she said.

The club is also hosting an open evening on June 8 between 6pm and 8pm.

Food and drink will be on offer as well as a chance to look around the club's facilities. and to take a look around.

Club captain, Libby Newman added: "Our juniors make a big contribution to the club, and it's great to see them develop.

"Many of our members have been playing tennis or squash since they were children – it helps them stay fit and active and they've made lifelong friends through sport.

"We're keen to encourage a new generation of players."
