WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT
Serving Youth Tennis provides free high-quality tennis instruction to youth in the Tampa Bay area. Programs at SYT offer young athletes time and space to learn new skills, build lifelong friendships, and develop into responsible and productive members of society.
In addition to being the most accessible youth sports training program in the area, SYT creates a safe space where students can spend structured, supervised time with their peers outside of their neighborhood and off the streets.
The strength of our program relies on your generosity. Your contributions allow us to support our athletes and continue to develop offerings that serve the community.

WHAT YOU'RE FUNDING
Serving Youth Tennis requires $50,000 in annual funding to provide high-quality tennis instruction to youth in the Tampa Bay area. A contribution to SYT can greatly impact not just our programs, but an individual athlete.
TENNIS COURT RENTALS
Daily tennis court rental fees are $30/hour
TENNIS & TRAINING EQUIPMENT
Our athletes need tennis balls, rackets, and racket grips to learn the fundamentals. We take it a step further by providing additional athletic training using jump ropes, targets, goals, cones, fitness balls, ladders, medicine balls, and more.
SUMMER CAMP
Our no-cost summer camp program is 5 evenings a week. Costs include tennis court rental fees, indoor room rentals (for that Florida summer weather), tennis and activity materials, and healthy snacks/water for our athletes.
HEALTHY SNACKS & HYDRATION
Athletes are provided free water and healthy snacks every day that they train and participate in SYT programs.
TEEN NIGHT
It costs $300/month to host a teen night. We provide activities and healthy meals for our teens at no cost to attendees.
STAFF UNIFORMS & TEAM SHIRTS
Program shirts for our all-volunteer team of coaches and program participants.
OPERATIONAL EXPENSES
SYT is currently an all-volunteer team that works with very little overhead. Our Coaches are working sometimes 20 hours a week to bring the best tennis instruction and programs to our athletes. We strive to be able to provide our Coaches with compensation that matches their efforts!
YOUR IMPACT
Contributions to Serving Youth Tennis are an investment in your community. Donations to our program directly support high-quality tennis instruction at no cost to the participants, monthly teen nights that provide activities and healthy meals, free summer camps, and the team that is making it all happen.
We can guarantee that your donation will be used to help us achieve our mission.
GOALS FOR SYT'S FUTURE
Transportation
SYT wants to own a van that is used to offer door-to-door transport for our athletes. From after-school pick-up to weekend rides home, many of our athletes do not have access to reliable transportation and have no way of getting to the courts.
Donations to our program would go towards the purchase, upkeep, and maintenance of a vehicle.
Extended Services
We want to expand the hours of our program to provide more court time and after-school tutoring to our athletes. Donations to SYT would pay for the court time, vendor fees, and room rentals so that we can have a bigger impact on our athletes.
Thank you for your support!
