At the Nelson Tennis Foundation, impact goes beyond wins and losses. We believe playing racket sports, especially tennis, is a powerful tool for building confidence, character, and connection—both on and off the court.

Each year, the Foundation awards scholarships to deserving student-athletes who exemplify leadership, community involvement, teamwork, sportsmanship and academic commitment. Our recipients aren’t just strong players; they’re role models, mentors, and engaged members of their schools and communities.
Through scholarships, programs, and community events, we help make tennis and racket sports more accessible while reinforcing the values that last a lifetime: perseverance, sportsmanship, and giving back.

Every fundraiser, match, and volunteer effort supports our goal of creating opportunities for young people to grow through sport.
The Nelson Tennis Foundation is proud of its legacy and excited about the future.

With the continued support of our community, we remain committed to expanding access to tennis and racket sports, strengthening local connections, and sharing the lifelong benefits of the greatest sport for generations to come.
