MORE INFORMATION TO COME ON HOW TO SAFELY PARTICIPATE WITH ACES FOR ATHENS THIS FALL 2020 SEMESTER

Who we are

Aces for Athens is a University of Georgia-based volunteer student-run organization dedicated to mentoring and educating local elementary and special-needs students through the sport of tennis. We understand the importance of role models in a child’s development and aim to support and engage these children outside of their typical classroom environments. 

What we do

We partner with local organizations in the Athens community to hold fun and free weekly tennis lessons in which we teach special-needs and elementary students the fundamentals of tennis, as well as the importance of physical activity and socialization with others. Our current schedule provides opportunities to volunteer at Oglethorpe Avenue Elementary and Barrow Elementary.
No tennis experience is required!
