This fall, something special is happening at the Miami Springs Tennis Center. ACEing Autism is bringing back its 6-week tennis clinic, offering a vibrant and supportive environment for kids and teens with autism—and inviting the local community to play a key role.
Connecting Kids Through Tennis
Every Saturday morning from August 23 to October 4, children and teens aged 5 to 18 will gather on the courts not just to play tennis, but to grow—physically, socially, and emotionally. The program pairs each participant with a trained volunteer who supports them one-on-one, helping them build confidence, learn new skills, and engage through movement and fun.
With a focus on individualized support and joyful connection, ACEing Autism’s clinics go far beyond the game. They’re about building relationships, fostering inclusion, and creating a safe, empowering space for every athlete.

Volunteers Needed! No Experience Required
The heart of ACEing Autism lies in its volunteers. You don’t need to be a tennis pro—just bring patience, enthusiasm, and a willingness to connect. Volunteers are trained and paired with athletes for the duration of the program, often forming bonds that last well beyond the season.
As a volunteer, you will:
-
Help teach basic tennis skills
-
Support and encourage athletes during drills and games
-
Foster social interaction in a safe, inclusive setting
It’s more than volunteering—it’s making a real difference, one serve at a time.
