What We Do
Our Vision
At Northampton Tennis Foundation, our mission is to make tennis accessible to everyone, regardless of age, ability, or background. We believe in the power of sport to bring people together, build confidence, and improve physical and mental well-being. Through our programs and initiatives, we aim to create opportunities for individuals and communities to engage with tennis in a fun, inclusive, and supportive environment.
Our Initiatives
Community Outreach
We work closely with local schools, community groups, and organisations to introduce tennis to children and adults who may not have had the opportunity to play before. Our outreach programs focus on increasing participation by breaking down barriers such as cost, accessibility, and lack of experience.
​
Coaching & Development
​
We offer structured coaching sessions for all ages and abilities, from complete beginners to experienced players. Our qualified coaches provide engaging and development-focused sessions to help players improve their skills while having fun.
Inclusive Tennis Programmes
We are committed to making tennis accessible to everyone, including individuals with disabilities and those from underprivileged backgrounds. Our inclusive tennis sessions ensure that everyone can participate in a welcoming and supportive environment.
This includes our subsidised Adults Hit 'n' Mix session, every Thursday 7-9pm for just £3! And not to let the adults have all the fun - our FREE juniors play is every Saturday 12-2pm.
Equipment & Facility Support
We work to ensure that everyone has access to quality equipment and facilities. Through fundraising and grants, we aim to provide rackets, balls, and coaching aids to those who need them, ensuring that financial constraints do not limit participation.
Holiday Camps & Events
​
We run seasonal holiday camps and community events to keep children active and engaged during school breaks. These camps provide a great opportunity for kids to develop their tennis skills, make new friends, and enjoy structured physical activity in a safe and fun environment. We work with the Holiday Activities and Food Programme to offer spaces to those who cannot otherwise afford holiday childcare.
