“Sport Legacy Foundation started coaching tennis as part of a summer camp delivery to 50 Year 6 students in two schools in underserved communities in Birmingham 10 years ago. Tennis was popular, so we launched it as part of a new programme, ‘Building Character through Sport’ with the Commonwealth Games 2022. With the formation of LTA Tennis Foundation, we expanded again with help from their ‘Innovate’ grant in 2023 and a ‘Scale’ grant in 2024. As a result, our delivery has risen to a 27-week tennis programme for 1,800 students in 20 primary schools in Birmingham and Bradford. Our aim is to continue introducing tennis at grassroots level and ensure enjoyment, increase friendship and community success for young people. Tennis works wonderfully well, and we thank LTA Tennis Foundation for all their fantastic support in helping us to improve our communities.”
