Director of Racquets Eric Driscoll leads Wellesley club’s effort to give back through tennis.
Wellesley, MA — Rally4Racquets is proud to announce a new partnership with Longfellow Wellesley, a premier tennis and fitness club in Massachusetts, dedicated to building healthy, connected communities through sport. Thanks to the leadership of Eric Driscoll, Director of Racquets, Longfellow Wellesley is now an official Rally4Racquets donation site—furthering our mission to provide access to tennis for youth in under-resourced communities.
A racquet donation bin has been placed at the club, inviting members to drop off gently used racquets. These racquets will be professionally refurbished and distributed to programs across New England that serve children who lack access to proper equipment and instruction. By contributing to this initiative, Longfellow Wellesley is helping turn unused gear into meaningful opportunities for young players to grow through sport.
“At Longfellow, we believe in tennis as a lifelong game that builds confidence, character, and connection,” said Eric Driscoll, Director of Racquets. “This partnership with Rally4Racquets aligns perfectly with our values—giving kids the chance to fall in love with the game, no matter their background.”
Rally4Racquets has now collected and redistributed over 2,000 racquets through 80+ club and organizational partners, impacting more than 10,000 youth across the region. Fueled by over 2,900 donors and a growing team of youth volunteers, the nonprofit continues to expand—one racquet, one child, and one community at a time.
This partnership with Longfellow Wellesley reflects a shared commitment to equity, service, and the future of the sport. Together, we’re making tennis more accessible and ensuring that every child has a chance to step onto the court.
