TENNIS TRAINING FOR SCHOOLS AND LEISURE CENTERS
Ödåkra Tennis Club has developed a tennis training for sports instructors, P.E. Teachers and recreation center leader. More than 40 individuals from 16 schools and leisure centers have been trained and the training includes tennis racquets, balls and nets that the students are allowed to bring back to their schools.  The fact that we have managed to get schools in Helsingborg to offer tennis in some form to their students, even if it only gets the breaks, at leisure or on the school schedule is historic.

DROP IN
We offer free drop-in-training for youth up to 19 years. Drop in turn partly to the target group of young people who today ends with the sport to a greater extent than previously and the presentation is based on the ”try” without membership requirements and performance. We have equipment for all. Ödåkra is also an area with various social challenges that require new approaches to attract young people. Drop in is one of these ways! Constructions of tennis courts in red and orange level, on the back of Ödåkra Sport hall, means that we now offer drop-in opportunity daytime.

ARE YOU HAPPY?
We often get the question: Who is Happy? For there is something magical about Happy. Ödåkra Tennis Club is working for the watchword joy and we are trying to convey joy in everything we do. The more tennis you learn the more enjoyable your tennis will be for you. Every time we see a player go home with a smile on his face, we know we have succeeded.

Find your joy in tennis!
