The magic of tennis starts with a single spark! 🎾

Our fantastic coach recently reflected on his own journey, which began at just six years old. With a massive shoutout to his dad and his very first group coaches, Barbara Moss and Pat Geminder, Gareth discovered a lifelong passion on his local courts. ✨

Today, the landscape has beautifully changed, the game comes directly to the students! Through The Elena Baltacha Foundation free school roadshows, we are bringing rally stations and mini courts straight into schools.

These sessions are all about getting kids active, keeping their brains sharp, and ensuring they are having an absolute blast. Beyond developing fundamental physical skills, we focus heavily on boosting mental wellbeing and teamwork, laying the perfect foundation for a positive, active lifestyle. 💛
