From Our Founders

"We aren't the first ones to do this. Programs like this exist across the country and provide real value in the day to day lives of children. Programs like this have proven success stories of tennis providing a pathway to college scholarships and successful lives."

-Bruce Hawtin

​

"I think we have the potential to do something very special here. Tennis is really important to my family and with this I think we can create opportunities for so many youth that otherwise would never touch a racquet, or be involved in sports period."

- Jonathan Barth

Third Serve is a registered 501 (c)(3) organization, affiliated with the National Junior Tennis and Learning Association.  We acknowledge that Tennis is more than just a game, but a learned lifestyle. As an NJTL partner, we are  currently moving towards utilizing readily available materials provided by the NJTL to institute the educational side of Tennis. In addition to our efforts to grow and inspire our kids athletically, we aim to instill values such as Tennis etiquette, sportsmanship, and kindness that reflects on and off the court.
