Well Being and Mental Health
At Tennis4All, we believe tennis is more than a sport — it’s a tool for mental wellbeing, confidence building, and social connection. Our Wellbeing & Mental Health Tennis sessions are designed to be gentle, judgment-free spaces where people can reconnect with themselves and others, at their own pace.
🌿 What is Wellbeing & Mental Health Tennis?
These sessions are calm, inclusive, and focused on feeling better, not performing better. You don’t need to be “good at sport” — just open to movement and connection.

💬 Loneliness or isolation

💙 Low confidence or self-esteem

🧍♂️ Recovery from burnout or trauma
