Youth/Team Programs:
The Grace Foundation offers a variety of programs using tennis as a vehicle to help children reach their greatest potential.
For more information about GTF's tennis, education and mentoring (TEAM) programs, see the following:
High Performance
The Grace Tennis Foundation High Performance Program offers tennis, education and mentoring throughout the school year to approximately 30 students. This program is by invitation-only and is for children in 4th through 12th grade who are passionate about tennis and display good sportsmanship and behavior. Players and parents must agree to provide quarterly report cards and to attend 85% of all tennis and classroom sessions. Players will receive individual coaching assessments, participate in mentoring outings, and have the opportunity to compete in a USTA tournament.
After School Programs
The Grace Foundation welcomes the opportunity to share the lifetime sport of tennis with students in Dallas Public Schools or Community Learning Centers (CLCs) using the USTA's Net Generation instructional program. Net Generation introduces the game to beginning players on smaller courts with appropriately-sized equipment, such as lower nets and compression balls. With this method, players are able to keep the ball in play and learn strokes at a faster pace. The format enables youngsters to build their enjoyment of the game while developing tennis skills more quickly and efficiently.
The convenience of the portable nets allows tennis to be set up in any available space, such as a gym or outdoor playground area. Typically, two Grace Foundation instructors work weekly with a group of 20 students over 6-8 weeks. The goal is to have the students playing out points as soon as possible. During the final week, a tournament is played at each site, giving each child the opportunity to demonstrate his/her skills.

Summer Programs
The Grace Foundation summer TEAM camps offer children 6 weeks of fun, safe and engaging activities. Certified tennis professionals teach children the lifetime sport of tennis, while academic instructors offer a daily dose of literacy and STEAM activities to promote educational development. The Grace Foundation includes fitness, nutrition and life skills curriculum to promote overall health and wellness and strong character development.
The Grace Foundation also couples beginner tennis instruction with on-court life skills twice a week to introduce children to basic strokes, rules of the game, and good sportsmanship.
