AGES 7 TO 14 YEARS OLD
We believe that all students should have the privilege to learn tennis from a professional tennis instructor, realizing their maximum potential and mastering a sport that is so much a part of their Coachella Valley heritage. Our community supports prestigious professional tennis tournaments and has hundreds of courts for private and public recreational enjoyment.
The youth of the Coachella Valley represent the 60% Caucasian, 30% Hispanic, and 10% Asian base of the year round residents. Many of these students, perhaps as many as 50%, are near or below the poverty line. With the cutbacks in physical education programs in our schools, tennis for these students is a luxury.
The specific purpose of the organization is to teach tennis as a lifetime recreational and educational sport. Classes are held year round and are available to children ages 7 - 14 regardless of financial status. Our belief is that all students should have the privilege to learn lessons from professional tennis instructors.
