Free and Affordable Community Tennis
Removing the financial barrier to participation.
Working with Infinity Tennis, local authorities, venue operators and volunteers, we help create affordable tennis in community spaces as well as traditional clubs — including public park courts in Thanet and Whitstable, close to where people live.
Affordable ways in
- £4 for 4 Weeks school progression, including a free racket
- Subsidised beginner programmes
- Funded coaching places for disadvantaged children
- Free Walking Tennis programmes
- Community participation activities and family events

Coming January 2027
Free Park Tennis
Volunteer Activators have been recruited to help launch Free Park Tennis sessions, planned for January 2027 — community tennis designed to be sustained by local volunteers.
How it’s delivered
Part of a wider pathway
Some of these programmes are delivered through Infinity Tennis or partner organisations rather than funded directly by Net Gain. Together they form an accessible tennis pathway supported by our partnerships.
Why it matters
Cost shouldn’t decide who plays.
The cost of lessons, equipment and club membership can keep people out of sport. Affordable entry points, local facilities and funded places make taking part possible for far more people.
“The opportunity to play tennis should not depend on someone’s ability to pay.”
