arriving at the center.
The First Serve Life Skills Program
Mission of the First Serve
First Serve is a youth empowerment organization that utilizes tennis to help
youth acquire the skills, values, and experiences they need to be successful in
life. First Serve presents tennis as a fun and engaging way to learn a broad
range of age-appropriate life skills-resulting in "real life power" on and off
the court.
We will include activities to emphasize development of the whole child-within
their environment- to help them grow physically, mentally, and socially.
Participants will move through three levels of the First Serve Program,
acquiring an array of important life skills, among them how to communicate
effectively, manage emotions, work as part of a team, set and reach personal
goals, and deal with peer pressure. This program requires special training of
the entire staff. There are three levels of curriculum: Game, Set, and Match.
All children are required to participate in the Life Skills area of the
program. Activities on and off the court will be presented the students as they
progress through the First Serve Curriculum.
