What it's all about

I wish to provide a platform for young people to become accomplished tennis players. I particularly want to get young girls from ethnic minorities involved as they are severly under represented in the sport.This will promote the development of skills, self esteem and encourage them to engage positively with self and community. Hopefully in the future these girls then can branch out and be role models to younger girls.

What's needed to make it a reality


Equipment as follows:

Tennis balls- 100
Tennis rackets
T-Shirts (printed)
Refreshments
Tournament travel and entries

Available actions

  • Avatar Nadia Cole 14:37, 21 November 2007 Its great to see a project that's targeting young people who may previously not have been able to access the wide range of skills offered through proficiency in tennis. You have the expertise to share with others and the enthusiasm to match it and I'm sure you'll act as an inspiring role-model and empower young women to become role-models too. We've already met up to begin developing the project and I'll email you shortly to set up our next update and provide the best support we can. Best wishes, Nadia Cole, Volunteer Development Worker, UCL Union VSU.
