Who We Are?
Our Mission
“Be Honest, Be Kind, Be the Best You Can Be”
This is the motto of San Antonio Academy, the school I attended from Pre-K up until 8th grade. I have carried that motto with me to TMI Episcopal High School and have made it my personal mission to train to be the best that I can be while also providing opportunities for other kids to be the best that they can be.

An Extraordinary Sport
Tennis reflects real life in its terms: advantage, service, fault, break, and love. The sport can teach skills needed for success in real life, including problem solving, self-discipline, grit, honesty, and progressive improvement.
Tennis is thought to be an expensive sport to play, but it doesn’t have to be. We are opening the door to the sport of tennis to kids from various backgrounds.
Our Goals
San Antonio has a large number of public and private tennis courts. We believe that more youth would play the sport if they knew the rules and owned equipment. We help kids get started with:
- An Introduction to the Rules of Tennis
- Donations of Rackets, Shoes, and Balls
- Lessons on the Serve, Forehand, Backhand and Volley
