Tennis-4-everyone
Tennis-4-Everyone, Inc. is a nonprofit organization founded in 2001 that provides the following free services to our local youth: year-round tennis instruction and academic tutoring throughout the school year. Since 2001, children attending summer camps at community centers in the Pensacola area such as Bayview (YMCA), Cobb Center, Salvation Army, Fricker Center, Gull Point, Milton Community Center, Ebonwood Community Center and Lincoln Park Elementary/Educate Today Program have received free tennis instruction.
Tennis-4-Everyone coaches and volunteers utilize the United States Tennis Association’s 10 & Under format, the latest method of teaching young beginners. The lighter racquets and low compression balls assist in learning proper technique and extended rallies. Children learn to love the sport of tennis – a healthy hobby that can be enjoyed for a lifetime!
Tennis-4-Everyone volunteer tutors and mentors work throughout the school year with kids in community center after-school programs. Assistance with daily homework, studying and remedial practice is provided. Each year, Tennis-4-Everyone introduces over 1,000 children to the fun and healthy sport of tennis. Studies have shown that kids who participate in sports are less likely to turn to unhealthy and dangerous alternatives in their teen years, such as drugs,
gangs and other criminal activities.
Each summer, Tennis-4-Everyone assists with a free Racquet Round Up at Hollice Williams Park, Roger Scott Tennis Center, and other local courts, reaching over 500 children from the local community. In summer 2015, Tennis-4-Everyone offered scholarships for 14 foster and guardian ad litem children to attend a week of Roger Scott Tennis Center summer camp.
