Aces - Middle School Tennis Program
In 2016, we began partnering with Seattle Parks & Rec as well as many Seattle Public Schools and multiple community minded organizations to provide free tennis instruction to middle school youth ages 11-14. Our goal is to increase access to this lifetime sport while building confidence and providing physical activity outdoors while also helping youth expand their social networks.
