Decathlon Sandever Beach Tennis Superkits on their way to nations

From Africa to Asia, Central America and the Caribbean to South America, 200 SANDEVER Superkits will soon be in the hands of National Associations as the second phase of the Beach Tennis Global Development Programme partnership reaches the delivery stage.

The programme is delivered in conjunction with Global Development Partner SANDEVER, Decathalon’s dedicated Beach Tennis brand, and is designed to assist nations in launching and growing beach tennis.

As the ITF’s Beach Tennis Development Partner, SANDEVER Superkits are provided to Member Nations joining the Beach Tennis Global Development Programme. The programme provides a roadmap for growing the game and the Superkits are an activation resource including all the equipment required to set up a Beach Tennis court – a court kit, four paddles, and six Stage 2 balls.

At last month’s World Championships in Terracina, SANDEVER brand manager Paolo Ceraudo said: “With our partnership with the ITF we have to push this beautiful sport to the countries that don’t know beach tennis."

The World Championships also saw two local schools practice with SANDEVER ambassadors Patricia Diaz and Rafaella Miiller, with Ceraudo adding “one of the key ways to let beach tennis grow is to invite schools”.

More than seventy ITF member nations are represented on the Beach Tennis World Tour – a tour with over 200 events delivered across 30 nations. In addition, Beach Tennis is part of the ANOC World Beach Games, a biannual event taking place from 5-12 August 2023 in Bali, Indonesia.
