My name is Sophie Tazzioli, and I am a full-time tennis professional here in Florida. I am originally from Belfast, Ireland, where I learned tennis and began my teaching career. While I love my home country, I needed to teach somewhere the weather was a little more cooperative, so in 2016, I moved here to Florida.
My work with LSA began in 2021, and since that first clinic, we have been working hard to build our program here on the Treasure Coast of Florida. I am the head racquets professional at Harbour Ridge Yacht and Country Club, and this position has allowed me to help launch our Martin County / St Lucie County classes.
Working with LSA has been an incredibly fulfilling experience both professionally and personally. Getting to watch each student fall in love with tennis as much as I have over the years is my favorite thing, and I can’t wait to keep working with LSA in the coming years.
A time to honor our ambassadors and raise funds and awareness.
The mission of the annual Match Point Gala is to celebrate and honor those nominated as “Legacy Ambassadors.” These are community partners and individuals who have made significant contributions through participation, awareness campaigns, and fundraising.
Their efforts and the funds raised catalyze the development and expansion of Love Serving Autism’s therapeutic programs. These programs create an inclusive and accepting community for neurodiverse individuals, on and off the courts.
