Why Virginia? Because it’s HOME.

Hampton Roads is more than just seven cities—it’s where Black Girls Tennis Club was born. It’s the hometown of our founder, Kimberly Selden, and the very courts where the vision for BGTC first took root.

BGTC was created to foster radical joy and wellness within our community through tennis and culture. And while Hampton Roads is our home base, our mission extends far beyond it. Through clinics, community partnerships, and events, we’re planting seeds of opportunity and carrying forward a legacy of connection and joy.

But no matter how far we grow, Hampton Roads will always be where it all began. These courts were the starting point of our dreams, and they’ll remain a cornerstone of our vision to inspire the next generation.

So here’s to celebrating home, building legacy, and keeping the game alive for generations to come. Let’s PLAY!
