The Afterschool Child Enrichment (ACE) program is a tennis experience combined with academic support for under-resourced elementary school students ages 6 -14 years old in Broward County, FL.

This free six-week tennis experience for under-resourced youth ages 3 -14 years old in Broward County, FL teaches tennis fundamentals, athletic skills, and mental resilience techniques in a fun, inclusive, and safe learning environment. STAR participants learn progressively more challenging tennis techniques over the course of the program and have opportunities for healthy competitive play with their STAR peers. Children are also taught simple games that they can play at home or at a neighborhood court to continue their exploration of tennis after their program participation ends. Each STAR clinic ends with a mental resilience lesson facilitated by a licensed clinical social worker and mental health therapist. Participants learn evidence- based techniques for managing and expressing their emotions, including breathing and self-awareness exercises, ways tennis and physical activity can be an outlet when they are feeling emotionally or mentally drained or overwhelmed, and the importance of exercise, a healthy diet, and abstaining from activities that compromise one's health such the use of illicit drugs, cigarettes and vapes. We serve two age groups through the STAR Program, our Tiny Tots aged 3-6 year old from 9:00am - 9:45am, followed by our Orange Ball program for ages 7-14 from 10:00 - 11:25am. The STAR Program operates six consecutive Saturdays at Vincent Torres Memorial Park in Lauderdale Lakes, FL during the following months: April/May and October/November. The STAR program is funded through program and equipment grants from the USTA Florida Foundation and in-kind support from the City of Lauderdale Lakes, FL. 11952 15465 Our Global Good Initiative connects youth abroad with free tennis resources.
