Our Team

We come from different backgrounds, carry different experiences, and bring different skills to the table, but we are united by one common goal: to grow the game of tennis. Every coach, volunteer, and staff member on our team is driven by a shared passion for the sport and a deep commitment to the communities we serve. When you step onto the court with us, you're not just joining a program. You're joining a team that genuinely cares about your journey.

Leadership

Our leadership is made up of tennis players and non-tennis players alike. We believe that a love for community and a passion for impact are all you need to help drive our mission forward.
