What our Students have to say…

“First Serve has helped me because I can go to tournaments, they give me cloth, rackets and help me with school to get my grades up so I can get a scholarship.”

Khalia Horta, 11 years old

 “The Adopt-A-Player program has offered me the opportunity to reach my goals not only on the court, but also off the court. Thanks to Adopt-A-Player, my dreams have become a reality. Tennis is my passion and I really don’t believe that any of this would be possible without the help of the program.”

David Castano
