Who We Are

About the QC Tennis Foundation

QC Tennis Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that now operates the Quad City Tennis Club in Moline, Illinois. The club is the heart of our work: it is how we bring tennis and pickleball to the community and grow the game with young people of any means.

We believe every child deserves access to safe, structured, and inspiring athletic opportunities, regardless of background or financial ability. Through the club, park programs, community groups, and 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 It Matters

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

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.
