We've been asked by The Lawn Tennis Association, the governing body for tennis, to help promote its allplay campaign that is helping more people play tennis. We are looking to find 5 Mumsnetters and their families to take on the Mumsnet allplay challenge.

This involves you having tennis lessons and your family playing tennis together, at local courts, once a week over a four week period and adding feedback on Mumsnet.

Did you know that there are over 4,600 places to play tennis across the country? To find one close to you visit www.allplaytennis.com

If you are selected to take part you will receive:

A racket
Trainers
An allplay Tshirt
5 Tennis lessons - for you only - to be organised direct with the venue at your convenience
4 x 2 hour family court time - this can be flexible
£100 voucher for a store of your choice when you have added all the feedback
and 3 additional rackets for your family

If selected you will need to add feedback twice a week (once after lesson and once after family playing sessions) for the four week period.

The challenge will start w/c 3 October so please only apply if you are going to be around then (and for the next 4 weeks)

Who are we looking for....
We're looking for mums with at least one child (old enough to play). You need to be in the UK and have a tennis court near you that you?d be happy to play on. You don't need any tennis playing experience, though you must be interested in learning to play and getting fit.

If you want to be 'IN' (gettit?!) please sign up here

If you are selected we will email you - we'd then need to collect information from you on: your shoe size, clothing size, height and details of who would want three additional rackets (age and level of tennis). Your details will be sent to the LTA who would send you the equipment and will work with you to confirm details of your coach/ location of lessons

Best of luck
MNHQ
