ATF Emirates Force for Good Program

Creating inclusive tennis pathways for Queensland kids through coach-led school and club programs.


Helping coaches make a difference in their communities 

The ATF Emirates Force for Good Program supports Queensland coaches to deliver tennis experiences for children from diverse and disadvantaged backgrounds. With funding and guidance from Tennis Queensland, coaches run school-based programs, host club open days, and offer follow-on sessions to help kids stay engaged with the sport.

This initiative is focused on increasing access to tennis across South East Queensland, especially for children from low socio-economic, multicultural and at-risk communities.  

What’s included 

Successful applicants receive subsidised support to deliver a structured program that includes:

  • A six-week school tennis program
  • A club open day to welcome new players
  • An eight-week follow-on program at their club

Tennis Queensland helps coaches build relationships with local schools to create a clear pathway from school to club participation.
