British tennis players Andy and Jamie Murray have teamed up with mother Judy to launch a new scheme designed to help parents develop their children's skills through sport.

Set4Sport, which also features the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) as a partner, is based on a book of activities, ball skills and exercises to enable young people to acquire basic skills. The new initiative is inspired by the games that Judy played with Andy and Jamie when they were growing up and is designed to support local communities.

A series of nationwide roadshows led by Judy are being planned for throughout the school summer holidays, which will take the Set4Sport initiative into major cities. Meanwhile, both Andy and Jamie will act as ambassadors for the scheme and will boast the logo on their tennis match kits - starting at this summer's Wimbledon tournament.

Judy said: "I played ball games with Jamie and Andy almost as soon as they could walk. We didn't know it then, but we were all taking part in the most basic of coaching sessions. "Not only was it great fun but it also helped them develop the coordination skills that would allow them to play any sport competently in later life."

Andy added: "It's funny to think that Set4Sport was brought to life in our family house all those years ago, but we had great fun playing together and it taught us some key skills." Image: Andy Murray will act as a Set4Sport ambassador – globalite
