In the United States, the average child spends less than three years playing a sport and quits by the age of 11. Most children continuing after that age are from high-income families. Disadvantaged children are likely forced to quit a sport because of insufficient funds. Not being able to play sports in a group has many consequences on children both physically and mentally. By providing underprivileged children with tennis lessons and equipment they learn to work as a team to reach common goals, which in turn, help children develop communication skills, problem-solving skills, and gives them the opportunity to live a healthier lifestyle.
