Net Socials Community Impact Report 2025

We’re really proud to share our Net Socials Community Impact Report 2025. It feels special putting this out into the world, because it captures something we see every week on court, just how much good this community is doing across London and beyond.

What started as a small WhatsApp group has grown into a proper movement. In 2025 alone, we delivered 184 sessions, reached 2,236 players, and saw an average of 299 people a week playing with us through summer. Even more telling, over half of players come back again and again, turning a one off session into a weekly ritual, new friendships, and a place that feels like theirs.

But the real story sits between the stats. It’s the person who hadn’t played since school and suddenly feels confident again. The one who moved to London and found their people through a Sunday morning rally. The women, beginners, returners and low confidence players who finally feel like tennis is for them. The coffees after. The pub chats. The “see you next week” that actually means it.

Net Socials has become more than a way to play sport. It’s a weekly anchor, a mental reset, a social space that isn’t centred on drinking, and a reminder that community can still be built the old fashioned way, by showing up and saying hello.

The ripple effects are real too. Regular footfall for local cafés and pubs, parks feeling more alive, and public courts turning into spaces of energy, safety and connection. It’s grassroots, but the impact travels. We’ve even seen the model pop up in Sweden, which still blows our minds.

We’re so proud of what’s been built so far, and even more excited for what’s next. More boroughs, more courts, more pathways for people to join, and more chances to keep tennis feeling human, welcoming and fun.
