Tennis For Life NC

Tennis For Life NC An active support group for Breast Cancer Survivors who have never played tennis, haven’t played in a while or who play all the time.

It helps participants regain upper body strength and mobility while building stamina, endurance, and morale. Tennis for Life is an active support group for Breast Cancer Survivors, offering free tennis and instruction. All levels of players, especially beginners, are welcome to join at any time. Tennis for Life is offered in Wake County through a partnership with WakeMed Health & Hospitals, North

Carolina Tennis Association, Raleigh Tennis Association and Western Wake Tennis Association. Our non-profit organization offers tennis lessons, organized tennis matches, peer networking groups and professionally-facilitated discussion groups to unite and assist breast cancer survivors in their recovery. In 1998, Marcia Devens, an avid Tennis Player and a 13-year breast cancer survivor, founded Tennis for Life (In Bergen, NJ) to introduce tennis to others with her circumstances who would not typically consider tennis as an option to aid in both the physical and psychological recovery process. Tennis for Life is committed to support and enhance the lives of Breast Cancer Survivors.

Tennis for Life would like to give a huge thank you to the NCSU Women’s Tennis Team and Coach Simon Earnshaw for continuing to support Tennis for Life. Yesterday was our 10th visit with the NCSU ladies! We appreciate the amazing FUNtastic day, experiencing the intense battle during the NCSU Women’s Tennis Team’s 4-hour match and then the ladies playing with some TFL members afterwards.
