This past weekend, we wrapped up our Impacted Player Gear Replacement Drive, which—over the past three months—helped 300+ players return to the court after the January L.A. and Altadena fires.
It was all made possible by the incredible generosity of the tennis community—reaching from our own players, to local retailers (especially ‘s )to nonprofits and organizations across the nation, including the USTA and ‘ .
Many of those impacted were local high school and competitive junior players—getting them back on court was our top priority.
This Medal of Kindness from Kindness Wins Foundation is for each and everyone of the individuals, businesses, organizations who made this effort possible.

Flashback to 2017. These three were 10 and 11 years old, playing on our inaugural teams. Jump forward 7 years; recently committed to , .mccollum to , and is going to be an polar bear. So proud of these three and all of the many other amazing players and thankful to them and their families for letting be a part of their tennis journey. Even when they are no longer playing on our teams, they are still a part of our family( especially Simon, who is literally part of our family😂). It’s been amazing seeing this first generation of players growing up. Their love of tennis finds so many different ways to express who they are and why they are special. We have players who are working with us, coaching younger players, volunteering with our community service programming; no matter what they are doing or where they are going, the glue that holds it all together- tennis.

For over 10 years we have been fielding junior team tennis teams and the joy of exposing players to the amazing experience of being with hundreds of players and coaches from all over So Cal in a fun, competitive and team building environment never gets old. It’s even more special when your coaches used to be the players!
