The Sportsmen's Tennis & Enrichment Center

Sportsmen’s mission is to build leaders on the court, in the classroom and in the greater community by providing academic, wellness and social development programs alongside recreational and competitive tennis instruction for youth and adults.

We are committed to improving life opportunities for youth in Boston's Blue Hill Corridor while welcoming a diverse community from the Greater Boston area.

We are committed to improving life opportunities for youth in Boston's Blue Hill Corridor while welcoming a diverse community from the Greater Boston area.

We partner with the Boston Public School system and local schools to help youth develop critical foundational skills in math and literacy. Our work with the Boston Police is bilateral, helping youth understand the role of police and reminding police to see children first - not a potential perpetrator or victim of a crime (in the words of a participating officer).  Through the Brigham and Women's Center for Community Wellness, we bring crucial health dialogues directly into our community, with caring and qualified physicians who are also invested in hearing from local residents.  By adding a social worker to our staff, we build capacity to recognize and address the social determinants of health throughout our programming.  And our junior-to-adult tennis pipeline builds healthy lifestyles.

While our direct service impacts youth and families in the community, Sportsmen's programs and staff work to break down institutional barriers impacting education, physical fitness and health equity.
