Discover First Serve Miami’s (FSM)
In-School Tennis Program

At First Serve Miami (FSM), we believe every child should be able to play, learn, and grow through tennis. Since 2015, our In-School Program has been empowering schools across Miami-Dade County with the resources, curriculum, and support they need to make tennis a part of their students’ lives. Geared toward underserved communities and youth tennis enthusiasts, this program is designed to remove barriers and create meaningful recreational opportunities for children.

If you’re a Miami-Dade County school, partnering with FSM is your chance to introduce students to an engaging, fun, and impactful sport that fosters teamwork, discipline, and resilience.

It teaches children valuable life skills, such as discipline, perseverance, and sportsmanship, while promoting physical activity and healthy lifestyles. And for Miami-Dade County’s underserved communities, FSM’s In-School Program provides much-needed access to an enriching recreational activity in a fun and supportive environment.
