LEARN With Smile. IMPROVE With Love. COMPETE With Fun.

INSPIRE TO PLAY was created to give children across London the chance to experience TENNIS in a way that builds joy, confidence, and curiosity. Through free, school-based tennis taster sessions, we introduce pupils to the game in a supportive environment where effort is celebrated, and fun comes first.

Why INSPIRE TO PLAY matters to us

For us, INSPIRE TO PLAY is about more than introducing tennis — it’s about giving children a powerful first step towards confidence, health, and lifelong participation in sport.

INSPIRE TO PLAY: 

• helps children discover the joy of being active in a positive and supportive environment
• builds confidence and self-belief through achievable challenges and success on court
• develops coordination, balance, and movement skills that support overall physical development
• introduces healthy habits that encourage lifelong participation in sport and physical activity
• teaches important life skills such as teamwork, focus, resilience, and respect

... and more

• gives every child access to tennis, regardless of background or previous experience
• supports schools in promoting wellbeing, engagement, and active lifestyles
• inspire children to see sport as something enjoyable, empowering, and part of everyday life

What INSPIRE TO PLAY gives children

INSPIRE TO PLAY sessions focus on much more than tennis skills. Children develop coordination, balance, teamwork, communication, and self-belief — all through playful, engaging activities designed for their age and stage. Every session is built around encouragement, inclusion, and enjoyment, helping pupils feel successful from their very first hit.

Our goal: inspiring 10,000 children to play tennis

Our mission is clear — to inspire 10,000 pupils to pick up a racket, enjoy being active, and see tennis as a sport they can play for life. By working closely with schools, teachers, and communities, we aim to create a lasting impact that supports both physical development and positive mental well-being.

Where the journey leads next

INSPIRE TO PLAY is the first step. For children who want to continue, we help open pathways into further tennis opportunities — always at a pace that feels right for them. From curiosity to confidence, from play to progression, we support every child’s journey with care and encouragement.
