Creating Opportunities Through Sport
SC Global Tennis For Every Child
Every child deserves the opportunity to discover their potential.
Introduced in 2014 as part of SC Global’s presenting sponsorship of the WTA Finals Singapore, SC Global Tennis For Every Child (TFEC) was created to make tennis more accessible to young people while leaving a lasting legacy for the sport in Singapore.
Watching individuals perform at the highest level reminds us that mastery begins with opportunity. Every champion was once a beginner, inspired to take that first step. Inspired by the values of discipline, perseverance and the pursuit of excellence, the programme sought to introduce children to the game regardless of their background or experience.
Working in partnership with schools, coaches and the Singapore tennis community, TFEC provided heartland primary schools with equipment, teacher training and after-school enrichment programmes, giving educators the resources and confidence to incorporate mini-tennis into everyday school life. Over five years, the programme reached 26 primary schools and introduced more than 50,000 students to the sport.

Beyond the classroom, annual tennis carnivals brought together students from schools across Singapore, encouraging participation through friendly competition while offering opportunities to attend the WTA Finals and meet some of the world’s leading players. These experiences helped demonstrate that sport has the power not only to inspire, but to build confidence, resilience and lasting memories.
A particularly meaningful chapter of the programme was its partnership with MINDS special education schools, where free weekly tennis sessions were introduced at MINDS Towner Gardens School and later MINDS Lee Kong Chian Gardens School. The programme reflected our belief that the benefits of sport should be accessible to every child, creating opportunities for participation, friendship and personal growth.

The success of Tennis For Every Child was also shaped by the enthusiasm of SC Global employees, many of whom volunteered their time to support coaching sessions, school programmes and community events. Their involvement reflected a simple belief that meaningful partnerships extend beyond sponsorship, creating opportunities that continue to enrich the community long after the final match has been played.
