A NEW form of tennis is being launched in Salisbury.

Walking tennis is a slower version of the game and is designed for anyone looking for exercise in a relaxed, supportive and friendly environment.

Part of the game means there will be smaller courts, nets, rackets and lower bouncing balls.

The first session is set to take place at Five Rivers Leisure Centre on Wednesday (February 1), at 11am.

The indoor sessions will run each Wednesday for eight weeks, with the last one being Wednesday, March 29.

The sport is for people of all ages and abilities.

Coaching will be provided.

It costs £2 per session.
