Lviv once again welcomes Ukraine’s young tennis talents

From August 22 to 31, 2025, the LEOSPORT Tennis Center in Lviv will host the Svitolina Tennis Camp 2025 supported by UKRSIBBANK BNP Paribas Group.

Over the course of 10 days, one of the key programs of the Svitolina Foundation will take place — a long-running initiative launched in 2019 aimed at supporting young tennis players. Since its inception, the project has involved 140 children.

“We strive to create an environment where young athletes not only gain athletic skills but also grow in confidence. For 10 days, we immerse them in the professional atmosphere of a top-level tennis player, showing that the path to a sports career goes far beyond the court. This program is our contribution to the development of Ukrainian tennis,”
says Elina Svitolina, founder of the Svitolina Foundation.

This year, 20 of the most promising Ukrainian tennis players under the age of 12 will be invited to participate. The main selection criterion is the national ranking, with a limited number of wild cards granted at the discretion of the organizers.

The Svitolina Tennis Camp program includes:

• Intensive training with leading tennis and physical conditioning coaches
• Sessions with a sports psychologist
• Educational lectures and personalized recommendations
• Special gifts and activities for the participants

Partner support enables not only a high level of organization, but also helps create a strong environment of trust, motivation, and growth around the participants.

“As part of BNP Paribas Group – the global partner of tennis – UKRSIBBANK supports talented young athletes in their journey toward growth. For us, this is an investment in the future of our country. By helping youth pursue their ambitions, we not only unlock their potential on the court but also foster teamwork, resilience, and self-belief — qualities that shape strong, goal-driven individuals. We’re inspired to see how children start believing in themselves. Step by step, they move toward their own victories, and we want to be there with them on this journey. Because Ukraine is a place for plans — let’s bring them to life together,”
says Yanina Olkhovska, Director of Communications, CSR and Engagement at UKRSIBBANK BNP Paribas Group.

Such an ambitious program is only possible thanks to strong partners who share the same values.

“We’re proud to host Svitolina Foundation’s programs at LEOSPORT. Our partnership has lasted nearly three years — a testament to quality. Overall, when top athletes of our country put this much effort into developing a new generation of Ukrainian sport, it’s our duty to support them and provide the space for play and talent to flourish,”
says Oleksandr Svyshchov, owner of the venue.
