In 2021, the year of pandemic, Little Tennis Champions opened its doors to Italy’s best tennis players, with a programme targeting 20 talented Italian athletes from families who could not afford a highly specialised tennis programme for their kids.

The 2021 edition was the preview of the Intesa Sanpaolo Assicura Little Tennis Champions 2022-2023 scholarship programme, a programme that ensures that students follow a plan that includes technical-tactical tennis training, athletic training, mental coaching and participation in international Tennis Europe tournaments.

The Scholarships

Intesa Sanpaolo Assicurazioni Little Tennis Champions
2023-2024

1. Selection phase

Intesa Sanpaolo Assicurazioni Little Tennis Champions  2022-2023 is the programme through which the I Tennis Foundation will provide 12 scholarships to finance the tennis training of the most deserving children.

The selection will take place through a contest that will be presented in Italy and will reward the talent of young people coming from families who cannot afford a specialized tennis course for their kids.

2. THE SCHOLARSHIP

The kids will be hosted at the venues selected by I Tennis and at the Tennis Europe international tournaments, and provided with technical equipment and clothing. The technical-tactical preparation will be guided by a technical committee, which will also preside over the athletic, mental and video-analysis preparation alongside the coaches. The young athletes will be assisted by an expert nutritionist and will benefit for support for school activities both during tournaments and throughout the year.

3. Not only TENNIS

I Tennis Foundation, in collaboration with its sponsors, will provide the kids with a support team to enable them to take part in Under 14 and 16 european competitions  and will fully finance the pathway, without forgetting more educational aspects, which constitute the basis for pursuing an academic and professional career.

 

“We established the I Tennis Foundation to support disadvantaged kids who have tennis talent but unfortunately do not have the adequate means to practice this magnificent sport… let’s make the Little Tennis Champions project together!”
