“THE FIRST SERVE TENNIS AND EDUCATION FOUNDATION (FSTEF) MISSION IS TO PROVIDE ALL YOUTH WITH AN ENRICHING SAFE-HAVEN AND POSITIVE PATHWAY TO COLLEGE THROUGH A COMMUNITY-BASED TENNIS AND ACADEMIC ENRICHMENT PROGRAM.”

We strive to introduce as many youth as possible to tennis, with the intention of guiding them down a pathway to college through the attainment of a college tennis scholarship and sustained excellence thereafter in whatever endeavor they pursue.

Our Goals:

• To create an environment where local junior and collegiate players will be given the opportunity to maximize their potential, both as individuals and athlete
• To apply modern tennis principles in the teaching of techniques and tactics, and to build a solid foundation for the long-term tennis development of our players in the Academy
• To develop the mental, emotional, and physical skills of our players that will allow them to optimize their performance in match situations and in life
• To train our players on the importance of sportsmanship and to make them respect their opponents, referees, and officials at all times
• To foster a close relationship with our players’ parents that they can understand each of our roles and responsibilities in the development of our players
• To develop the necessary life skills in a player that can help them succeed beyond the confines of a tennis court.
