ACEing Autism

Volume up for one of our favorite parts of every clinic! 🔊

Every ACEing Autism clinic ends the same way: athletes and volunteers coming together for one final cheer. A little moment that captures so much of what ACEing is all about: connection, community, and a shared love of tennis. 💙

ACEing Autism officially launched its first program in Vermont over the weekend at Middlebury College! 🎾 The inaugural session welcomed 10 athletes and 20 volunteers from across the Middlebury community.

With more than 245 programs across 37 states, we're continuing to grow our reach and create more opportunities for individuals with autism to experience the joy of tennis, build confidence, and find a community where they belong.

Our Charlottesville, VA program is back for its second year, bringing athletes and volunteers together to build skills, confidence, and connections both on and off the court!

NBC29 caught up with co-organizer Mia Seltman who shared how meaningful it’s been to hear from parents about their children’s excitement for ACEing, and how some athletes have even discovered they attend the same school after meeting through the program!

We’re so grateful for the Charlottesville community helping make these moments possible.

Let’s hear it for our ACEing Autism athletes who competed in the Southern California Unified Doubles Qualifier!

In unified doubles, an adapted athlete teams up with a partner without a disability (their “unified partner”) to take the court together.

Two teams from our Burbank, CA program played:
-Trey Mihal, our Burbank Program Director and Regional Program Director, with partner Lucas Thornbury
-Wyatt Gibbs, who teamed up with his dad.

We were cheering the whole way. So proud of you all! 💙
