I am very grateful for the funding that has got me here. I truly hope that this support will always be here for as many people as possible to participate in this program that will forever allow more and more people my age to play and learn tennis.

TSLP Participant,
Future Philpott Coach
One of the campers this year told me that he never played tennis before. He said that his favorite sport is now tennis. After I showed him my certificate I received as a child, he mentioned that one day, he wants to become an instructor.”
When I become a Coach, it's not going to be because of the money. I want it to be for a charity like Philpott. I never thought there would be a program like this to fund me. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to become the best of me and teach kids!”

Matthew Ho

Matthew participated in Doug Philpott camps throughout the years and was inspired to become an instructor when he heard of a program that would fund him to become certified.
“Thank you for supporting Doug Philpott and TSLP because this program helps a lot of people out and future tennis coaches so they can help future tennis players.”

Rose Shaver

“I love tennis and hope for it to always be a part of my life. I’d like to thank TSLP and all of the sponsors that funded and accepted me to help get me to the position I am in right now. I am so grateful for this learning opportunity and I would never be able to have the confidence to teach tennis without a program that guided me like this. I can’t wait to get on the court and start teaching!”

Edward Branga

"I always thought of being a coach, but I wasn’t aware of a program such as TSLP. I want to say thank you to all the people that made this program possible. The benefits are extraordinary. I really want to share the knowledge I have with younger children who may find that they like the sport and will hopefully want to continue playing tennis for the rest of their lives."

A few words from donors...

"Without tennis we would not be the same people that we are today. Thus, we believe that tennis should be shared with other kids who have not been given this amazing opportunity. By starting this 100/100/100 initiative, we want to help Philpott and give back to the game we enjoy so much."

"For us playing tennis has become the best thing that has ever happened to us and it is one of the main passions in our lives. It has taught us discipline, perseverance, and hard work. It has also given us an opportunity to pursue our dreams."

“I love tennis. It’s an important part of my life. I want to help other kids experience the joy I get from tennis. I also have my eye on volunteering for Doug Philpott Foundation as soon as I’m old enough. I love working with little kids and being able to expose them to tennis would be awesome.”
