A's & Aces teaches life skills through tennis and promotes the concept of "students-athletes" by providing academic support to Orleans Parish public school children. Mission Statement
A's & Aces is a Community Tennis Association member organization of the United States Tennis Association (USTA) and was selected as a project of the Clinton Global Initiative, President Clinton's project “to help turn good intentions into real action and results.”
In-school/after-school programming is now taking place at five elementary schools using USTA “Quick Start” tennis with mini-courts temporarily laid out on school yards or indoors. University students, high school students, and community volunteers will provide academic assistance and mentoring. More
Why Tennis
Tennis provides a healthy alternative to street activities for at-risk children, and such options are needed in New Orleans' post-Katrina environment now more than ever. It is a lifetime sport played globally, bringing people of different backgrounds together. Tennis teaches good sportsmanship, conflict resolution skills and responsibility. Read more
