A protracted COVID-19 pandemic has, to some extent, changed the way each of us lives. There have also been some changes in our tendency to choose after-school interest classes for our children. Outdoor sports are considered by more people as the first choice for exercising and enhancing physical fitness. You can see it through our popular golf lessons program.
In order to allow the majority of young people to have more opportunities to contact professional non-team competitive sports outdoor projects, after nearly a semester of research and negotiation, Univision has joined hands with the century-old Ngatira Tennis Club and Sparta Tennis Academy. Mt Eden in central Auckland offers community tennis courses for youth.

Donation ASD Sunshine Tennis
This program provides an ideal opportunity for children with ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) between the ages of 7-12 to engage in physical activities that they might otherwise struggle to access due to barriers.
Children with ASD often feel anxious in crowded places, and their behaviors are often misunderstood by others, which limits their opportunities for participation in various activities. These children need the care and support of society as a whole. However, there is a lack of activity options specifically designed for children and adolescents with ASD in the market, and even when available, the costs are often beyond the budget of many families.
