Welcome to First Serve Miami (FSM), where the love for tennis meets opportunities for growth, education, and community. Partnering with the United States Tennis Association (USTA), we’re proud to offer free after-school tennis programs that inspire, educate, and empower youth in underserved communities across South Florida.
Since our launch in 2021, FSM has expanded access to the game of tennis, starting with just five parks in Miami-Dade County. Today, our programs span over 20 parks in South Florida, bringing the joy of tennis to countless young players. Through our collaborative efforts with various municipalities, we’re dedicated to growing recreational youth tennis and building a brighter future for all.
Our programs go beyond teaching tennis; they provide access to valuable life skills, educational opportunities, and lasting friendships. Here’s what participants can expect in our sessions:
Kids receive professional lessons on technique, rules, and game strategies, making tennis approachable for players at any skill level.
We pair tennis with engaging science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) activities to promote learning on and off the court.
Our programs run in the Fall, Spring, and Summer, with flexible options for 4-week or 8-week sessions to fit families’ schedules.
Kids get to be part of a supportive community where they can build confidence, improve fitness, and develop teamwork skills.
