A USTA Florida Section Foundation Program Support Grant of more than $4,000 helped Successful Tennis of Brevard expand its introductory classes, and 52 new players registered, many of them adults picking up a racquet for the first time. 🎾💙

Even better, 12 of those adult beginners went from their first class to joining a league! 🙌 With coaching and encouragement through the early stages, they stopped trying tennis and became tennis players. 💪

A $2,500 USTA Florida Section Foundation Program Support Grant is helping Tennis 4 FUN bring its K-8 afterschool tennis program to six Coral Springs schools. 🎾💙 Sessions are held right on campus immediately after the final bell, so there's no second trip across town, no separate pickup, and a price point families can actually manage. ✨

"This grant was an important part of our program's success because it helped us provide children with access to tennis who may not otherwise have had the opportunity." — a Tennis 4 FUN spokesperson

For 283 kids in Jacksonville this summer, a racquet came with a lot more attached: meals, mentors, and a safe place to be. 🎾💙

That's Camp Dynamite, MaliVai Washington Youth Foundation's six-week camp, powered in part by a USTA Florida Section Foundation Program Support Grant of $8,500+. 70 campers picked up a racquet for the first time. ✨

"We are so grateful for the support that allows us to ensure that each camper who attends our program has the equipment and the coaching that they need to have a positive tennis experience" — Terri Florio, Executive Director

In the summer of 2025, Jack Russell Park hosted its very first Youth Tennis Summer Camp and the results were nothing short of amazing. Over three weeks, more than 20 young players learned the fundamentals of tennis, with many picking up a racket for the very first time.
The camp was made possible through a grant from the USTA Florida Foundation, and the community response was overwhelmingly positive. Families are already looking forward to 2026 and so are we!
