The Sadie Bristow Foundation provides:

  • Schools with a comprehensive tennis and athletics learning module
  • Sessions that will increase children’s’ athletic abilities along with sport-specific skills for tennis. The fundamentals of agility, balance and coordination are at the forefront of our unique programme
  • A daily activity that has been shown to improve well-being and concentration levels. Building daily sessions into schools’ curriculums enhances learning whilst delivering up to 15hrs a week of tennis coaching
  • Participants with ways to improve their confidence, and in turn, participate and compete.
  • Inspire children through “Sadie’s Way” – high athletic ability in tennis supported by understanding and kindness.

Our support

The Sadie Bristow Foundation is supported by former British Olympic Athlete, Michelle Robinson, who helps us with our athletic programme and supports us in other ways. The Foundation is also supported by a network of tennis coaches and organisations.

Tennis and athletics

Sadie had a natural, raw talent for tennis and athletics. This talent was nurtured through regular time on the tennis courts with her dad Stewart, who is a tennis coach. Without this opportunity, she wouldn’t have been able to achieve so much in her tennis playing career.

Discovering a passion

The Sadie Bristow Foundation wants to enable all children to discover a passion for sport through our Tennis For Children Programme. So far we’ve helped thousands of children across Kent and beyond to enjoy tennis at school and increase their confidence on and off the court.
