The Tennis Ball

The Tennis Ball was founded in 2009 to benefit two very worthwhile charitable tennis initiatives, Give It Your Max in the UK and IC Philanthropy overseas (the International Lawn Tennis Clubs Philanthropic Development Programme). The Tennis Ball is held every two or three years to help disadvantaged and disabled young people to enjoy better lives through tennis. Children without the means are introduced to tennis and exposed to values of fairness, fun and friendship as well as health and fitness - and a host of other life enhancing opportunities.

To date we have been able to raise almost £650,000 for the two tennis charities.In 2018, The Tennis Ball will be held on Saturday 10th November and an array of tennis and other personalities will be attending with Sir Trevor McDonald OBE as our host.

Entertainment on the night has taken many forms and this year brilliant comedian Dominic Holland will entertain us with Sky Sports top presenter Marcus Buckland as Master of Ceremonies and we will be
dancing to the renowned All Time All-Stars ten-piece band. The evening will include a reception, dinner, entertainment, dancing and an auction conducted by TV personality auctioneer Charlie Ross.
