Tennis First

About us

With your help, we can continue to support the next generation of British tennis players as they navigate from Juniors to the Pro Circuit. We've helped more than 16 players reach higher than a top 250 ATP/WTA ranking and are excited for the young ones to break through.

We have two main aims as a tennis charity,

1. Identify players with the attributes to succeed at a world-class level and provide financial support to help them reach our target measure of a professional world ranking of 250 or better, through our Grants Programme.

2. Support selected tennis clubs & centres to deliver world-class 10U performance programmes through our Get Ready! initiative.

Tennis First alumni include US Open Champion Emma Raducanu, top 50 ATP ranked Jack Draper, multiple Grand Slam Doubles Winner and ATP world No.1 Joe Salisbury and Davis Cup Winner Kyle Edmund

Our charity is continuously developing new ways to support players, coaches and parents and your fundraising efforts will help us to inspire the next generation with stories and advice from our alumni.

It will also help to grow new initiatives such as Get Ready! designed to offer the prospect of more ‘internationally ready’ players and a stream of young players better equipped for a lifetime in tennis.
