Tennis Club Esch

At Tennis Club Esch, tennis is more than just a sport – it is a tool for social inclusion. For the past five years, the Tennis for All project has given people who would otherwise not have access to the sport – refugees, people with disabilities, or those with Down syndrome – the opportunity to step onto the court for free. Thanks to the club’s commitment, a qualified coach provides weekly lessons, with all necessary equipment provided, so that every participant can experience the joy of the game without barriers.

The idea was born from a simple yet powerful desire: the club wanted to engage in a solidarity-driven project. Financial challenges remain a hurdle, but the search for supporters and sponsors continues, as the enthusiasm of the players and their dedication to the program are a constant source of motivation. Seeing the smiles on the court, witnessing the connections being made, and feeling the shared pride among the entire club team – that is what gives this project its true meaning.

Each year, Tennis for All evolves to better meet the needs of its participants. Its long-term goal? To make sport a sustainable tool for social integration. Because beyond the rallies and matches, this project fosters friendships, a sense of community, and true team spirit. As the club puts it: "A social project like this brings satisfaction and pride to all its members."
