"Academy Tennis" – A Path to College

From the A’s & Aces after-school program, a few children with aptitude will be chosen for the “Academy Tennis” program, an intensive multi-year initiative to develop the skills necessary to obtain athletic scholarships and, thereby, to provide a path to college for those who have the potential to succeed in college but may not have other means to do so.  “Academy Tennis” is A’s & Aces’ “excellence program”.  It is designed as a “phase-in” program which will expand as appropriate student-athletes are identified and as financial progress is made.
