About the program:

The ASAP program is run, managed and financed by ETC and the ACE foundation. ASAP is a non- profit program build to assist young students to get a chance to enjoy the sport of tennis in a very professional organized and safe environment. This makes it a great chance that these students might not have had otherwise to further participate and grow their talents.

The Patel Charter School at USF is one of the schools that participate in our program while they set an example with the standards and discipline they teach their students , that helps our efforts to  make the program a success.

The program currently runs twice a week on Tuesday and Thursday 2:45 to 4:45 pm.

Program Details:

The program  runs threw three distinct stations targeting our areas of focus. The daily proposed time for the program will be two hours, distributed evenly between the three stations.

• Station one: (the tennis station)

This station will develop the basic tennis skills for beginners and include a development program for those who show better skills and future potential.

• Station two: : (the academic station)

This station will focus on the academic development of our students and players. We will provide tutoring and supervision threw a study hall. Help with all school work and subjects will be provided, review sessions prior to exams and finals would also be recommended.

• Station three: (the fitness and fun station)

This station will focus on movement and athletic skills through fitness training and cross training. Cross training will involve fun games of football, soccer, Frisbee and other fun activities.

ASAP PLAYERS FOR FALL 07:

The center currently have forty one players registered for the ASAP program. And the program is just one year old. We feel that we the success that this program is having the whole Tampa Bay area will have a chance to share their time on a tennis court.

What a great way to Get the community together.
