The XS Tennis and Education foundation is committed to administering positive tennis programs within local communities. How?? The Tennis XSpress program takes tennis on the road. With rackets, tennis balls, and portable nets in tow, we transform Chicago Public School gymnasiums into a world of opportunity. In less than 5 minutes, Tennis XSpress can turn any gymnasium into 4 mini-tennis courts. Classes are integrated into the physical education curriculum and/or after school programs.

Tennis XSpress targets kids between the ages of 4-12 and teaches more than tennis fundamentals. Kids also learn self-confidence, sportsmanship, and the habits of an active, healthy lifestyle. With your help, we can circulate more kids through the Tennis XSpress program, keeping them safe from mischief and danger.

T.E.A.M. stands for Tennis, Education, Attitude, and Motivation. Beyond tennis and education, junior players are taught to maintain positive attitudes on and off the court while also motivating themselves and others.

The XS Tennis and Education Foundation also strives to broaden the game of tennis in high risk, low income populations through tennis programs that are both accessible and affordable.

Since 2008, The XS Tennis and Education Foundation is proud to have funded programs where over 1,000 kids have discovered the joy of tennis for the very first time. Many first timers have developed a true love for the game and continue playing today!

Tennis builds confidence, discipline and sportsmanship. With your help, the XS Tennis and Education foundation can expand efforts to expose more children to the T.E.A.M. concept…Tennis, Education, Attitude, and Motivation…It all begins with the first lesson.
