That’s a wrap on Q1 of SVB’s After-School Tennis & Education Program! 🎾

With the expansion of Tiny Tennis to 1st and 2nd graders, we reached a new milestone: our largest number of students served in a single quarter!

That’s 170 racquets and 98 program hours provided at no cost to participating students and their families.

A HUGE round of applause for our coaches who made it all possible! 👏👏👏

See you in Quarter 2! ✌️

Last Friday, SVB held the first 'Leadership and Career Exploration Series' session with Rich Muscolino, Head of Strategy and Development at Skydive City

Rich shared his journey from school to engineering and project management to his current role. The roundtable discussion with our Ambassadors was focused on leadership, with all students sharing their thoughts on what effective leadership means to them.

Rich really set the bar sky-high for this new series!

Our biggest Match Play turnout yet! 🎾👏

At our most recent Match Play, we welcomed 20+ junior players to the courts at Zephyr Park, bringing together SVB Ambassadors and players from across Tampa Bay (and beyond!) for some friendly competition.

We love seeing our community grow and more young players taking advantage of opportunities to compete, connect, and improve their game. 💙

Look how far we’ve come! 🎾💙

Since 2020, SVB has continued to grow, reaching more students, welcoming new Ambassadors, and partnering with more schools to bring free after-school and year-round programs to youth in our community.

As we prepare for our 6th Annual Raise a Racquet Gala, we’re celebrating the community that made this growth possible and investing in the years ahead.

Join us on November 7 and help us continue creating opportunities for the next generation!
