The health news and statistics paint a concerning picture of the health and future of American children. Consider these facts: childhood obesity affects nearly one in three, daily physical activity is rare, and a significant number of children are left to fend for themselves after school. Compounding these issues, poverty drastically increases the risk of dropping out of high school. Yet, there's hope.
Studies show that participation in physical activities like tennis can dramatically improve kids' lives. Those who participate in tennis demonstrate better academic performance, leading to better grades, improved behavior, and a greater likelihood of pursuing higher education and community involvement. With you, we can unlock and prioritize access to these opportunities and invest in local programs that promote kids' well-being. Let's get started!
Give someone the gift of tennis, or some of your old gear. Donate used racquets, shoes that don't quite fit, a bag that you have two of, and tennis clothes to those who want to play and need a little help getting started. If you have time, volunteer your time on the court to teach kids and adults who want to learn to play tennis. If you have funds, donate toward a scholarship for kids.
