It’s more than tennis.
Mission
Black Girls Tennis Club serves as a pathway to liberation for Black women & girls through PLAY
We focus on four key pillars to bring our mission into reality:
ACCESS
Working with local governments to assess public access to courts and tennis programming. Improving tennis conditions. Creating opportunities locally, nationally and globally for Black women and girls to see and participate in tennis and tennis-related activities.
CULTURE CHANGE
Creating an environment where Black women and girls in tennis have the same opportunities as everyone else on and off the court. Dismantling the systemic barriers that prevent equality in sports. Shifting attitudes around what’s appropriate in tennis culture.
REPRESENTATION
Representation on and off the court, in decision-making rooms and the places and spaces that dictate tennis culture. Amplifying Black women and girls narratives in tennis.
EXPOSURE
Introducing tennis as a source of health and wellness, opportunities, community, recreational play and joy for all ages. Exposure to the idea of hobbies as necessary and a lifestyle centered around community and radical wellness through individual liberation.
