Subject: Thinking of a new sport? 😊

Hi [ mira],

Hope you’re doing well! I heard you’re thinking about learning a new sport, and I wanted to share an idea I think you’d really enjoy.

Have you ever tried padel? It’s a mix between tennis and squash, super fun, and perfect for beginners. It’s easy to pick up, not too hard on the body, and since it’s played in doubles, it’s also really social. I honestly think it would suit you perfectly.

There’s a great place called Smash Academy near the sports centre – they offer beginner classes with really friendly coaches. After just a session or two, you’d be able to start playing casual matches. You can also book courts through an app called Playtomic, but it might be more fun if we start together.

What do you think about taking a few lessons together? We could sign up for a beginner course and learn at the same time. Let me know if you’re up for it!

Best wishes (khlood)
