Our Mission
At First Serve Tulsa, our mission is to provide no-cost tennis and educational opportunities that empower all athletes, particularly those facing financial barriers, to excel both on and off the court. Through our diverse programs, we create pathways for success that extend far beyond athletic performance. We are committed to building stronger, more confident individuals, equipping them with the skills and resilience needed to thrive in life’s challenges.
As a National Junior Tennis & Learning (NJTL) organization recognized by the USTA, we focus on developing not only athletic skills but also leadership, academic success, and life skills.
Our programs are designed to be inclusive and empowering, and include:
League of Exceptional Players (LOEP): A specialized program for special needs youth and adults, offering competitive and recreational tennis opportunities tailored to all abilities.
Wheelchair Tennis: Making tennis accessible to individuals with physical challenges and fostering a supportive community.
Youth Tennis Training (Elementary to High School): Regular drills and on-court training designed for elementary through high school students (grades 4–12) to build fundamental skills, enhance teamwork, and prepare for competitive play.
