A’s & Aces is recruiting volunteers to assist 2nd-6th grade school children with reading, homework, life skills and/or tennis.
We use the USTA’s QuickStart Tennis programming (portable short courts with small rackets and large foam balls) on the elementary school playgrounds. The model varies according to each school’s situation, but usually we rotate the groups with half of the children having tennis instruction and the other half receiving academic assistance/life skills.
We have volunteer opportunities to work with our staff at one of the following schools each weekday; locations and times are:• Arthur Ashe Charter (3649 Laurel St.); M & W, 4:30-6:00
• Milestone Sabis Academy (at Dillard University, 2601 Gentilly Blvd); F, 3:30-5:30 and Sat, 9:30-11:00
• Lafayette Academy Charter (2727 S. Carrollton Ave., at Walmsley Ave.); M & W, 9:15-11:00AM
