APRENDE JUGANDO (LEARN AT PLAY), SANTIAGO
The key target of the programme is young boys and girls between 9 and 16 years who are at significant risk of exposure to drugs or crime. They are supported by the coaches and members of IC of Chile, who participate in the programme to encourage the children to see that they have different options in life. The children particularly value the opportunity to join IC activities and junior tournaments as well as being able to participate in activities with ex-professional players. The pandemic has been especially hard for those poorer groups of society in Chile for various reasons, including the lack of access to technology and lockdowns in areas where the virus had hit strongly.

Update May 2025

The coaching at the Vosloorus Tennis Club by head coach Michael and his assistant coaches Nyaniso and Wellington, has continued to be well attended by the children from the local Vosloorus schools.
