TENIS PARA TODO EL MUNDO (TENNIS FOR EVERYBODY), LEON
In conjunction with The Municipal Sports Commission, the programme supports underprivileged children from the local schools between the ages of 6 and 16. This is a vulnerable community with a high exposure to drugs and the programme aims to foster a positive attitude, a strong work ethic and an approach to life that may help the children to overcome some of the challenges they are likely to experience in such an environment. This programme was suspended due to severe pandemic conditions and will hopefully be reinstated towards the end of 2021.

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.
