Our Goals

TennisWorks Programming is designed to inspire youth to seek success in many areas of their lives - Socially, Emotionally, Academically, and Physically

We evaluate the impact of TennisWorks by measuring data on attendance, retention, and demographics, as well as the following outcomes:

  1. Youth have fun coming to the program

  2. Youth feel safe while at tennis. 

  3. Youth establish a positive, trusting relationship with an adult. 

  4. Youth set individual and team SMART goals, identify how their decisions impact their ability to achieve their goals, and recognize how their decisions affect others. 

  5. Youth develop skills in self-managing emotions, responding appropriately to disagreements and experiencing what it is like to win and lose. Youth demonstrate listening skills, consistent effort, and team problem solving. 

  6. Youth enjoy being physically active and learn how to serve, rally and score in tennis.

To judge how effective TennisWorks is in achieving these objectives, we measure the growth and development that our youth experience as they move through our programs via our own Socio-Emotional Learning (SEL) surveys and the Youth Program Quality Assessment (YPQA).
