Pilot Tennis Program for Those With Mental Health Issues
Every Thursday for 7 weeks Strathfield Sports Club will partner with RALLY4EVER in providing a free weekly, 1 hour tennis program to anyone in the community who may be feeling lonely, struggling with their mental wellness or just feel like reconnecting with their community for company and friendship.
RALLY4EVER first began back in 2019 when WTA (Women’s Tennis Association) commentator and former professional tennis player Louise Pleming had a chance encounter with a homeless man Brian whilst working in an inner-city soup kitchen. After learning they both loved tennis they had a game together, and three years later they were still coming onto the court and having a hit.
The RALLY4EVER community program gives people the opportunity to learn new skills and make new friends, motivating them to keep coming back each week once they start playing regularly.
