Grassroots is in our 32nd Year 
of empowering youth through tennis and education in Norwalk & Stamford!
We have served over 7,000 student athletes since 1995!
1995-2026

Norwalk Stamford Grassroots Tennis & Education is a youth development nonprofit organization that uses tennis and education to change lives and build community. This year-round program combines tennis instruction with academic support and character development to our underserved youth.

​

Grassroots Pathways Program is designed to provide opportunities to help every participant discover their strengths, develop valuable skills,  & build relationships within our community creating a pathway to achievable long-term successes.  

 

Tennis is the starting line, Opportunity is the outcome! 

​

As a proud chapter of the USTA National Junior Tennis and Learning network, we serve over 500 children each year ages 5 to 21 with a relationship-first approach that brings together children and their families with dedicated volunteers and caring staff.
