The program provides free tennis lessons and life skills to youth ages 4-18. With every free tennis lesson, a mandatory off-court, peer group session is held where trained instructors lead discussions and activities concerning topics such as: drugs, higher education, the importance of family and multiculturalism, accepting differences and change, peer pressure and gangs, anger management, money management, internet safety, and healthy living. Throughout the years, additional (and free) programs have been implemented. Some of these programs include: the Book Power Club (a volunteer based, one-on-one reading program for third graders at 2 local inner-city elementary schools), the College Preparation Program and the Leadership Program (both for high school students). Finally, 15-LOVE has also developed an Excellence Program—a tournament team which focuses on tennis and healthy living in order to help students achieve a goal of going to college and having the opportunity to play tennis there.
