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.”
