MIND THE🎾GAP
We want to close the gap in women and girls’ participation in tennis and sport.
Why❔
Women often feel they have nowhere to play or no one to play with, are less confident in their ability, and girls are less likely to play competitively meaning many aren’t playing weekly🙁
Rally Together tackles this by offering FREE, beginner‑friendly, weekly sessions and a supportive community of women and mums💪

Why is our new community project 'Rally Together' important❓
4 in 10 women are NOT active enough to ensure full health benefits✖
13 million women said they'd like to do more sport and physical activity🎾
313,600 fewer women than men are regularly active🏃‍♀️
Only 1 in 10 women from lower-income backgrounds feel they belong in the world of physical activity🏸
Rally Together is a FREE tennis project located in 3 Erdington parks for women and children to develop friendships and be active!

In a time of uncertainty in the PE & School Sport Sector, today was a day that lifted our spirits and added some extra fuel to the positivity engine to keep making a difference! Thanks to the RBO for hosting us today it was great to hear about all the dance support we can filter down to our schools, but we also had an amazing tour of the building! We learnt so much about the theatre today it was really inspiring. We truly believe that dance can make a difference to young people. Really excited to see what the future holds. royalballetandopera
