WHAT?
Weekly sessions are delivered in SEN schools to children with special educational needs and disabilities.

WHy?
Our mission is to enhance the lives of children facing any kind of adversity, not just those from disadvantaged backgrounds but also children with additional needs.
Research shows that disabled people are twice as likely to be physically inactive than those without a disability. We also know that disabled children benefit from the same physical and mental health benefits of engaging in exercise.

We are committed to increasing accessibility of tennis and providing the same opportunities for all children.
What people say?
It was great to see the students who typically don’t enjoy physical activity getting involved in a session that was tailored for them. We see great value in this and very keen to work alongside you to explore further opportunities for these students
