What is it?
Through our Community Club, our aim is to provide opportunity for children in need and to those with disabilities in Hammersmith and Fulham to play tennis in a fun and safe environment. We also seek to provide an affordable and accessible pathway to encourage children to continue playing. As part of our programme children receive 6 weeks of free tennis lessons (and an invitation to a Festival at The Queen’s Club), before being directed onto affordable follow-on sessions locally with providers the QCF has partnered with.
Where do the sessions take place?
QCF are delighted that we have expanded our reach and impact externally to 2 park venues: – Bishop’s Park Tennis Centre and Brook Green.
Sessions at Bishop’s Park take place on a Monday evening 4:00pm-6:00pm
Sessions at Brook Green take place on a Wednesday evening 4.00pm-6.00pm
These coached sessions are open to children in Years 2 and 3 (ages 6-8)
