The strawberries and cream are coming out at MNHQ on Friday lunchtime when we'll be joined by Judy Murray for a webchat at midday until 1pm. Best known as being mum to tennis stars Andy and Jamie Murray, Judy herself can hold her own in the courts and won 64 national Scottish titles and represented Great Britain in the World Student Games. Judy is a PCA Qualified Coach and has coached at all levels. Inspired by her experience as a tennis coach and parent, Judy has created a programme called Set4Sport, which showcases easy and accessible ways for parents to play with their children that develop the skills required for playing sport. The programme centres around a book of activities, ball skills, and exercises based on the games Judy played with her sons when they were growing up and is supported by The Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS), long-term sponsors of the Murrays. The book details a range of ways parents can help children acquire basic physical skills in a fun environment and is available to download for free from www.Set4Sport.com

If you want to put a question to Judy, join us on Friday 29th July at 12 midday or if you can't make that time, send in your question in advance to this thread.

Please note, the webchat is taking place at 12pm - 1pm, on Friday, not 1 - 2 as originally announced.

Hello everybody,

Judy is in the building and will be starting in a few minutes. Thanks to everyone who has posted questions...

Hi Judy. We've just had this question in - from Twitter. "Please ask Judy her how she'd make tennis more affordable. My son was on 4 lessons a week. It cost hundreds!"

Two questions if that's allowed!

Firstly as someone who already struggles to keep up when playingtennis with my 10 year old ds, do you still manage to play tennis with Andy and Jamie?

Second: As you can see from above am not the best at tennis but would love to play more with friends. Some of the mums at school sometimes suggest playing but when folks say they play tennis "a bit" I've discovered that can mean anything to v basic player like me to ex junior wimbledon champ? Any tips for mums wanting to return to tennis without experiencing total humiliation?

Thanks very much to Judy.

She has given us three signed Set4Sport books to give away to Mumsnetters, they show loads of games you can play with your children to improve their sporty skills and coordination, based on the stuff Judy did with Andy and Jamie as kids.

We'll pull three names randomly from the people who've taken part in the chat and mail you. :)
