Our story
The Rally Project started with a simple idea: if you can create a welcoming space and put a racket in a kid’s hand, you can change how they see themselves. What began as small, local sessions grew into a mission to make tennis available to youth everywhere — especially in communities where programs, equipment, or coaching aren’t easy to access.
We focus on consistent sessions, positive mentorship, and a beginner-friendly environment where every player can learn at their own pace. Our goal is not just better tennis — it’s better confidence, better habits, and a stronger sense of belonging.
Our values
- ✓ Access: Tennis should be available to everyone.
- ✓ Joy: Kids learn best when it’s fun and encouraging.
- ✓ Consistency: Showing up regularly builds trust and progress.
- ✓ Safety: Youth-first policies and respectful coaching always.
- ✓ Community: We build local chapters with local leaders.
If you have access to a court and a small volunteer team, we’ll help you start a chapter with a simple playbook, session structure, and ongoing support.
