About QC Tennis Foundation

Who We Are

Why Tennis & Pickleball Matter

Why Tennis & Pickleball Matter

QC Tennis Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded by the Quad  City Tennis Club to bring the games of tennis and pickleball to  underserved youth across the Quad Cities. We believe every child  deserves access to safe, structured, and inspiring athletic  opportunities, regardless of background or financial ability. Through  after‑school and in‑school programming, we teach the fundamentals of the  game, encourage sportsmanship and fair play, and help young players  develop skills that last a lifetime.

Why Tennis & Pickleball Matter

Tennis and pickleball help youth improve physical fitness,  coordination, and heart health. They build confidence, independence, and  problem‑solving skills. They teach teamwork, discipline, sportsmanship,  and responsibility. They strengthen memory, focus, and classroom  performance. These sports provide a lifelong foundation for healthy  habits and personal growth. 

Who We Serve

Why Tennis & Pickleball Matter

Who We Serve

QC Tennis Foundation focuses on reaching underserved and at‑risk  youth throughout the Quad Cities. Many of the children we serve would  not otherwise have access to lessons, equipment, or court time. Our  programs ensure every child has the opportunity to learn, play, and grow  in a safe, supportive environment. 

Our Programs

After‑School Tennis and Pickleball

We partner with local schools to introduce students to the  fundamentals of tennis and pickleball. Programs emphasize skill  development, teamwork, and positive character building.

In‑School Instruction

Licensed instructors bring structured lessons directly into PE  classes, making racquet sports accessible to all students regardless of  background or experience. 

Youth Development Pathway

Our Impact

QC Tennis Foundation provides free instruction, equipment, and   court access to hundreds of young people each year. Our programs help   children stay active, build friendships, and gain confidence. Many   participants continue into competitive play, school teams, and lifelong   involvement in the sport. The foundation is committed to expanding   access and creating opportunities for every child who wants to learn. 

Advancing our Mission

QC Tennis Foundation is supported through community donations,  partnerships, and the generosity of the Quad City Tennis Club. These  resources allow us to offer free programming, equipment, and court time  to youth who need it most. Every contribution directly supports  instruction, gear, and program expansion.
