2025 Primary School Tennis Initiative Program

The 2025 Inter Primary School Tennis Initiative intends to provide opportunities for Primary School students ages seven (7) to ten (10) to experience the joy, discipline, and rigor of the lifelong sport of Tennis. Students will acquire physical and mental fitness while learning and playing the sport regardless of their economic status. In collaboration with the Long Looke Tennis & Education Centre

Studies have shown that an early positive experience in sports is vital for the healthy development of children, creating a lifelong commitment to an active lifestyle. Physical inactivity has been a growing epidemic, making childhood obesity.

The program encourages youths’ active and healthy lifestyles and helps build valuable life skills, including competitiveness, sportsmanship, and teamwork. According to the American Heart Association, ‘Tennis is an excellent way to engage children in physical activity to help them live longer, healthier lives. Some of the benefits include:

  • Increased physical fitness Improved optimism and self-esteem
  • Decreased depression, anger, confusion, and anxiety
  • Improved academic scoring

Our goal is to introduce Primary Schools to the sport of Tennis and increase their overall movement and commitment to an active lifestyle of excellence through Tennis. We anticipate students will experience the following:

  • Improved communication with parents, peers, and teachers
  • Increased awareness of the importance of physical activity and healthy living
  • Improved alertness and tactical thinking will generate new connections between nerves in the brain and thus promote a lifetime of continuing brain development.

To achieve our goals and objectives,  parents will need to be  committed and disciplined:

  • Two (2) sessions per week, each session for one and half hour duration, facilitated by Coach Mitchell
  • LL Tennis & Education Centre will provide the  Equipment. The Monthly fee is $25.00 Per month
  • BVITA will contribute $15.00 per month for each student towards the monthly fee.
  • Parents will pay $10.00 per month.

As students progress through the program and learn the basics of the game, we will encourage friendly competitive play to sharpen each player’s skill set.            We will host Tennis tournaments at the end of each term to highlight and inspire all the players/students.
