Project Title: Love in Tennis Futures
Project Description:

Love in Tennis Futures is a 7-month youth tennis program empowering children ages 3–13 through skill-building, physical activity, and personal growth. This initiative will offer weekly tennis clinics that introduce participants to tennis movement, coordination, and fundamentals in an inclusive and engaging environment.

Each session will be age-appropriate while focusing on motor skills, tennis mechanics, teamwork, and rules of the game. Certified instructors and trained volunteers will lead the activities, supported with age-specific equipment—lightweight racquets, low-compression balls, and mini nets—to maximize early success and enjoyment.

Beyond athletic development, Love in Tennis Futures fosters resilience, focus, and healthy habits. The program targets underserved families and those historical shut out from tennis. Outreach will include local schools, community centers, and youth organizations to ensure broad engagement across diverse backgrounds.

Funds from this request will be used for equipment, court rental fees, registration fee scholarships, and engagement outreach. At the end of the 7 months, participants will have improved physical wellness, and a greater sense of confidence and tennis aptitude.

This program supports positive youth development, physical health, and community connection—aligning with the foundation’s focus on children and youth while making meaningful impact.

Total Project Budget: $18,000
