About Us

BYSF is the product of a conversation between a middle aged (and unfit) tennis fan and her tennis coach! In 2020 I decided to take some tennis lessons after years of watching Wimbledon and wishing I could have a go. I instantly loved it and rebuked myself for waiting so long. “What if I had had lessons when I was younger?” How different life might have been…

Whilst enjoying my tennis tuition (courtesy of Belper Meadows Tennis Club) I looked around and saw the potential for a unique opportunity. Wouldn’t it be great to develop a timetable of different sports for young people to try and at the same time support the local, superb, sporting facilities? And BYSF was born.

On September 5th 2022 BYSF became a registered charity (No. 1200264).
