Reach & Rally UK began after founder and lead coach Barney Maddock regularly visited his grandmother in her care home. During those visits he noticed there was very little structured activity aimed at improving coordination, circulation and fall prevention. 

With extensive experience as a tennis coach, Barney had the idea to adapt tennis exercises for his grandmother to support these missing care home elements. She loved this so much, that he decided to develop a nationwide programme.

Tennis is widely recognised as one of the best sports for longevity because it stimulates both brain and body at the same time.

Reach & Rally UK was created to adapt these principles into safe, engaging sessions for older adults and currently delivers successful programs all over the UK.
