BIPOC Girls in KWC Play Tennis
Afropolitan Canada is paving the way for the next generation of young BIPOC girl athletes (ages 8 to 16) by creating an inclusive space where they can learn, grow, and thrive through tennis.
Access to tennis hasn’t always been equitable; through accessible coaching and tailored sessions, we help these young athletes build skills, confidence, and teamwork in a positive and welcoming environment.
We believe sport is a powerful driver of social change, and our mission is to inspire a new generation of girl athletes to become leaders—both on and off the court—by building a strong, supportive community where every girl feels valued and empowered to reach her full potential.
This initiative provides free and accessible tennis coaching for BIPOC girls aged 8-16, helping them develop fundamental skills, confidence, and a strong sense of community.
The program is open to BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour) girls aged 8-16 in Kitchener-Waterloo-Cambridge who are new to tennis and eager to learn the fundamentals of the game in a fun, supportive environment. No prior tennis experience is required!
Thanks to the support of Tennis Canada and National Bank, this program is entirely free for participants.
Rackets and tennis balls will be provided to participants at no cost.
Each camp runs for one week, with daily lessons from 9 AM - 12 PM.
Certified tennis coaches and community leaders will guide the sessions, creating an engaging and supportive environment.
Lessons will take place at an indoor tennis court in Cambridge. The exact location will be shared with registered participants before the program begins.
