Tuesday the 10th
Frogner Tennis Courts
We're testing out a new activity!
To make it happen, we need to gauge interest first. (the way the booking system works is that the courts can only be booked 7 days in advance. And they are fully booked fairly quick. In order to secure a court, we need to know in advance how many people are coming/interested in order to book.
Time will be confirmed on the 3rd of June. Be sure to register before then!
This is an event in collaboration with QSSC
📍 Where: Frogner Tennis Courts
👟 Who: This session is NOT for beginners. You should know the basics of tennis and have proper shoes.
📆 When: 10/6/25 time TBC — likely after 17:00.
👥 Max: 4 people per court. If there's high interest, we'll book two courts
🎾 Need equipment? From the venue: Rackets and shoes are available to rent at the clubhouse. Check your local BUA or Frigo to see if they have any equipment you can borrow.
🌧 In case of rain, this event will be rescheduled.
