Tennis Social with Black Tennis Mentors

Afrosocial x Black Tennis Mentors (Back It Event)

Back It is a social tennis + community experience created by Black Tennis Mentors. It’s not traditional coaching — it’s about connection, culture, movement, and people.

The idea is simple:

🎾 Inclusive tennis for all abilities
🤝 Community & networking
🧠 Wellness through movement
🎶 Good energy, music, and vibes

For Manchester, we are collaborating with AFROSOCIAL for a 2-hour tennis experience across 2 courts, led by qualified coaches, including:

• Social icebreaker warm-up
• Fun skill-based drills (beginner-friendly)
• Rally-based games & light competition
• Cool-down, group moment & content

Then we take it off-court with a social brunch nearby, where the real conversations and connections happen.
