    I love teaching Love Serving Autism classes! It brings me great joy to see these kids progress not only in their tennis skill development but also in their life skills development! As a Special Olympics volunteer coach, I am constantly amazed at the level of sportsmanship the athletes display so readily! I have found that these athletes teach me more than I could ever teach them!

      Mom, Lantana, FL

      My son has autism and tennis is the only sport he chooses to play. Love Serving Autism has given my child a chance to participate in tennis at his pace, at his level, and within his limitations. Not only does it promote activity, but it helps increase his motor skills, builds confidence, and he has a blast!
