Above the Net

Above the Net Henry County lacked a tennis program in most middle schools and as a result students would begin participating in other sports at that grade level.

We are a community- centered youth development organization laser focused on bridging the resource gaps for underserved youth through tennis, literacy, and social support utilizing a holistic approach addressing the mind, body, and spirit of the child. Above the Net was founded when three avid recreational tennis players in Henry County, GA felt that there was a need to expand participation in the

sport particularly by the youth in the area. In turn, high school tennis programs began to falter. With an underutilized resource of tennis courts at Richard Craig Park, the founders decided to create a non-profit all about growing youth participation in tennis in the area and leveraging that sport for college scholarships, strengthening communities, and building life skills.

A big thank you to everyone who attended and helped make the event a success. We are proud of the effort, enthusiasm, and sportsmanship displayed throughout the day!

Keep working hard, keep learning, and keep growing—both on and off the court. 💪🎾
