Tennis begins with LOVE

Love from our players, our community, our coaches and our AMAZING volunteers!

At Youth Tennis San Diego, we know that the foundation of our community programs is built on the generosity and dedication of our community coaches and volunteers. We are proud to welcome individuals of all ages and backgrounds to join us on the courts, and we deeply appreciate the invaluable contributions they make to our mission. Whether you're a young athlete eager to give back to the sport you love, a busy professional looking for a few hours away from the office, or a retired adult seeking a way to stay active and engaged, there's a place for you with us on the courts!

Our volunteers do more than just show up—they make a real difference. By giving their time and energy, they help create a positive and inclusive environment where youth can thrive. It's not just about teaching tennis; it's about mentoring, supporting, and making lasting connections that go beyond the game.

With more volunteers, we’re able to offer more opportunities for youth to grow and develop. More coaches on the court means more balls hit, more personalized attention, and more encouragement for our players. And that’s exactly what our young athletes need to succeed - support at every turn. Volunteers help ensure that our programs run smoothly, allowing for better engagement and skill-building for the kids.
