STREET TENNIS PROJECT REIGERSBOS, AMSTERDAM
In Amsterdam, in conjunction with the Richard Krajicek Foundation, tennis coaching is provided for approximately 65 children, aged 6-16. There are
many one-parent households and high unemployment in the district and consequently the financial support from the parents for tennis activities is limited. The programme offers the children 2-4 hours of tennis coaching per week; in addition the kids are also taught life skills and the importance of healthy eating. A partnership has been set up with a regular tennis club, which allows the children to also participate in junior team competitions and tournaments.

The Tennis Kids World Tour

For the first time this year, some of the kids in our “street tennis” project are participating in the so called ‘Tennis Kids World Tour’, organized by the Dutch tennis association.
