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.

Exchange Tournament 17th June 2017

Recently a large group of our street tennis kids and their coaches assembled for a bus ride to The Hague to play matches against kids from a similar project as ours. In order to create equal matches, the children were divided in three levels according to their tennis skills. In the morning short singles matches were played and after a joint lunch the program continued with doubles.

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.
