First Serve Miami

First Serve Miami They are also challenged to achieve academic success.

FIRST SERVE MIAMI, formerly known as The Greater Miami Tennis and Education Foundation originated in 1974 to introduce tennis to young children who otherwise would not have the opportunity to learn the sport. FSM operates two programs to help our kids succeed in life through the accomplishment of individual growth and development goals:

• The “Adopt-A-Player” Program is designed to enhance partic

ipants’ tennis skills and USTA ranking through tournament play. The program also holds our kids accountable for academic excellence through homework, tutoring, SAT preparation, college awareness and good citizenship by participating in the USTA’s Life Skills and Student Athletic Competition and other related programs.

• The “10 and Under” Program is used to introduce and expose young kids to the game of tennis.

A legendary weekend, for our future legends. 🎾✨

Day 1 at Moore Park — Big Brothers Big Sisters, Strings of Glory, and our kids had the opportunity to learn directly from legends of the game, both on and off the court.

Day 2 at the Miami Open — taking it to the next level, connecting, learning, and being inspired courtside.

From tennis history to tips, tricks, and life advice… this weekend was bigger than the game. 💚

Celebrating Black History Month by honoring the leaders, legends, and influencers who’ve inspired our community — and poured into the youth of First Serve Miami. 💚🖤

We’re grateful for every visit, every word of encouragement, and every moment that showed our kids what’s possible both on and off the court.

Representation matters. Inspiration matters. Community matters.
And our mission grows stronger because of it.

Tournament weekend recap 🎾💚

This weekend, Moore Park was full of energy, competition, and community as our players took the court for another First Serve Miami tournament — and we were at full capacity!

From hard-fought rallies to sportsmanship at the net, our players showed growth, resilience, and a whole lot of heart. These tournaments aren’t just about wins — they’re about confidence, consistency, and building a love for the game in a positive, competitive environment.

After weekends like this, we’re excited to make these tournaments a regular part of our programming. More match play, more opportunities, and more moments like these ahead.

Thank you to our coaches, families, and volunteers who make it all possible — and shoutout to our players for showing up and competing 💪🎾

More tournaments coming soon… stay tuned!

This weekend is game time 🎾🔥

Our Moore Park tournament is officially at FULL CAPACITY, and we couldn’t be more excited. From friendly competition to community energy, this is exactly what we envisioned—and we’re just getting started.

This weekend marks the beginning of something special. We’re proud to kick off what we plan to make a regular, ongoing tournament series that brings our players together, challenges them to grow, and builds confidence on and off the court.

Thank you to our players, families, and supporters for showing up and showing out. Let’s play! 💚🎾

A message from our very own President 💚🎾

“My name is James Champion, and I am the President of First Serve Miami.

As we step into 2026, we are energized by new opportunities to continue making a positive difference in the lives of South Florida’s youth. We are taking bold and intentional steps to expand our tennis programs in underserved communities, ensuring more kids have access to safe spaces, mentorship, and meaningful growth opportunities.

Our motto — ‘It’s All About The Kids!’ — is more than words. It represents our unwavering commitment to helping young people develop confidence, character, and the tools they need to succeed in life, both on and off the court. This work matters, and we are proud to do it every single day.”

Thank you, James, for your leadership, vision, and dedication to our mission. 💚
