Organiser Ryan Haire, from Muckamore Cricket & Lawn Tennis Club, said: “Community groups will receive coaching for two hours per day, one day a week, for six weeks and, we will come to you so there won’t be any travelling involved.
“This is a great opportunity for young people to learn a new sport or build on existing skills. I would urge local groups to get in touch soon as there are still some places available.
“We would like to thank the Housing Executive for its funding and support, this is a pilot programme but there are plans to roll it out further across the Antrim town area during the summer.”
