Sport Birmingham ready to serve! 🎾 Yesterday, the team were hosted by Sutton Coldfield Tennis Club to try their skills at Padel and Pickleball. Due to their smaller courts and modified equipment, these racquet sports offer an inclusive environment for people of all ages and skill levels. Something we champion at SB! The team didn't stop there, they went and visited Royal Sutton School who as part of of their Opening Schools Facilities funding developed a spectacular Crossfit gym within their school in partnership with The Academy Programme. An amazing facility that is not only going to be used by the young people & staff within the school but the wider community too 👏 Remember 👋 Our Community Celebration Award nominations close 14th October, so don't delay and nominate today! https://lnkd.in/eQCYT92e Sport England Active Partnerships
