Jockey Club Tennis Rocks Programme was launched in September 2016 and supported by the Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust to promote tennis to individuals of all ages and social statuses. Systematic training courses will be provided for primary school students, children with special educational needs, PE teachers and elderly people. The Trust’s funding also covers a set of equipment including tennis balls and racquets, so that participants will not need to worry about extra expense.

Target groups and expected beneficiaries:

  • Primary school students of aided or government schools with a grass root background;
  • Primary school PE teachers of aided or government schools;
  • Retirees or Seniors with a grass root background; and
  • Special school students, and the members (and their family members) of Hong Kong Down Syndrome Association.
  • People with hearing disabilities

Tennis Rock

To encourage novices to pick up tennis and take part in local competitions and beyond. Targets beginners aged 6-12 to equip them with the basic tennis skills to enjoy the game. It delivers positive values and character-building attributes to kids who, otherwise, may have little or no opportunities to participate in tennis. Aside from training, they are encouraged to join other extra-curricular activities, such as Inter-Primary School Tennis and Mini Tennis Competitions. The programme also seeks to provide other benefits, such as meet-and-greet with national players, workshops, and attending tournaments. These are all value-added opportunities for them and their families to experience tennis outside of regular training.
