About the project
“School Match Point” is a structured education and sports project that brings tennis into public schools. We integrate a “Tennis” module into PE classes, provide equipment, and train teachers so lessons can run in any setting. We also support schools in launching tennis clubs, giving students a chance to keep practicing beyond regular classes. The project is already running in Lviv and the surrounding region, where over 13,000 children are discovering tennis at school, and applications are now open for schools in the Volyn, Rivne, and Zhytomyr regions.
