The challenge

Removing the barriers between young people and the court.

Cost, equipment, transportation and access can prevent young people from discovering tennis.

We work with schools and community partners to remove those barriers and give children the opportunity to learn, grow and belong through the sport.

We believe tennis can teach much more than forehands and serves.

It develops confidence, sportsmanship, tenacity, perseverance, independence and problem-solving skills that are directly transferable to real-life situations.
