Active Hastings will launch its new Sound Tennis sessions at Ore Community Centre from Thursday January 26.
Joe, from Break Point Tennis Coaching, will lead the weekly sessions that run every Thursday from 11.45am to 12.45pm.
The tennis-based session aims to increase physical activity in adults with a visual impairment.
Sound Tennis is open to players of all abilities, experience and fitness levels who are blind or have a visual impairment.
This format of the game is different to traditional tennis as it's played on a smaller court with a lower net and uses an audio tennis ball that makes a noise so players can hear it bounce and being hit.
Booking is required for this session, which can be done online or by calling 01424 451051.
Each session costs £3, with a free taster session available, and all equipment is provided.
Cllr Andy Batsford, lead councillor for Health and Culture at Hastings Borough Council, said:
“Visually impaired tennis is one of the fastest-growing VI-sports in the UK.
"We are very excited to offer these sessions in Hastings, and to give our local community the opportunity to get involved.”
Active Hastings is hosted by Hastings Borough Council, in partnership with East Sussex County Council.
