We are so happy to be partnering with our friends at Eastridge Mission Center in Amarillo, Texas, this week for a fun-filled summer tennis camp! 🎾☀

A special thank-you to the student-athletes from Amarillo High Tennis who are spending their afternoons volunteering, mentoring and sharing their love of the game with local youth. Your dedication is helping create meaningful experiences both on and off the court.

Together, we're building confidence, community and opportunity—one tennis ball at a time.
