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.
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.
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.

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

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

Our programs help young athletes build healthy habits, learn discipline, and develop leadership skills both on and off the court. Players progress through a structured pathway designed to support long‑term growth.

Seasonal camps provide extended learning, match play, and mentorship opportunities for youth across the Quad Cities. Camps focus on fundamentals, fitness, teamwork, and confidence building.

We host free community events that introduce tennis and pickleball to new players, provide equipment, and create opportunities for families to engage in healthy activities together.
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.


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.
Your gift helps us provide free tennis and pickleball programs to underserved youth across the Quad Cities.
