Why Third Serve?
Third Serve is a registered 501 (c)(3) organization, affiliated with the National Junior Tennis and Learning Association. Tennis is more than just a game. As an NJTL partner, we want to utilize readily available materials provided by them to institute the educational side of tennis. We prioritize efforts to grow and inspire our kids athletically but also aim to instill our core values on and off the court.
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
Our Programs
We partner with E.L. Frierson Elementary and Haut Gap Middle School to provide free tennis lessons throughout the academic year. Third-party services provide transportation to and from practice for children registered for clinics through their school. Learn more below!
