About Us
Our mission and what we do
Our Mission? 🎾🏆
We want to bring tennis and other sports to everyone, regardless of their background or situation in life. However we know from experience the barriers that stop people trying a new sport.
They might be financial, concerns over ability or the social aspects of turning up somewhere new and meeting new people. This can be the case for adults and children alike. We aim to find ways to break down the most common barriers people tell us that stop them accessing sports, and open up pathways into the benefits of physical activity.
🎾Barriers To Participation🎾
-
Financial
We understand how starting a new hobby can sometimes be expensive and often requires significant initial outlay for equipment, club membership or lesson fees.
-
Equality
We understand that some sports can be more accessible than others. Our aim is to encourage inclusivity for all abilities. Lack of good accessible community facilities can also be a barrier.
-
Social
Sport can be a huge boost for mental wellbeing, but sometimes having the confidence and energy to take the first step can be the biggest challenge to get playing.
