ALL ACCESS FOR EVERYONE

ALL ACCESS FOR EVERYONE ✦

who are we?

All Access Tennis is a Registered 501(c)3 Nonprofit Organization

We are a 501c3 non-profit organization passionate about bringing the sport of tennis to ALL who are interested in learning. Tennis has a reputation for being mainly for the white and wealthy, and we want to play a part to change that! We do prioritize the ages of 3-17 to hopefully inspire youth to embrace a sport they can play throughout their lives that benefits their physical and mental health. Beyond having access to free programs, children from lower income families are eligible to receive partial or full program scholarships. Currently, All Access serves the Crestview, FL community. Crestview is a city with a rapidly growing tennis population and currently has three youth tennis teams: Davidson Middle, Shoal River Middle, and Crestview High. We want to introduce kids to a sport that can carry them as far as they want to go. The opportunities can range from getting physical exercise, making a school team, traveling and playing tournaments, to potentially getting scholarships for college tennis. Our goal is that everyone who wants the opportunity to play tennis has ACCESS!

“Our idea is to use tennis as a way to gain and hold the attention of young people so that we can teach them about matters more important than tennis.”

-Arthur Ashe
