Program Overview

We are committed to using tennis as a vehicle to benefit underserved children around the world. We cultivate sustainable tennis and education programs by working hand in hand with local communities to understand their needs and develop best practices. The majority of our program participants are BIPOC and identify as female.

Our international program uses tennis as its core, with additional offerings for STEM education, tuition assistance and scholarships, meal assistance, equipment support, girls mentorship, and legal education. Our Uganda team members are local and our coaches are trained in international standards.

Our domestic programs focus on introductory tennis skills, with the addition of an educational component in writing and communication. As in our international program, we work with local partners, including paid staff and volunteers, to provide high quality programs.
