GROWING UP WITH TENNIS, MONTEVIDEO
The programme began over 10 years ago. Tennis nets are set up in public squares, multisport areas and school courtyards, all situated in very poor and ‘difficult’ neighbourhoods. The children, aged from 6 to 14 years, receive an average of 4 hours (two sessions) tennis instruction per week. The aim is to keep children away from the dangers of drugs, to practice a sport and share the values of team playing, to learn respect for teachers and fellow players, to generate selfconfidence and pride and to learn to win and lose as well... all with their families’ support. During the pandemic the children were sent videos with tennis exercises and live interviews from Uruguayan young players to inspire and motivate them while at home.

Uruguay update

With the arrival of 300 kids from 6 different areas, we promote through sport the values of an active and healthy lifestyle and hopefully distance these kids from drug abuse and delinquency.
