PROGRAM

Teaching life skills through the game of tennis.

RISE UP

LIKE A

PHOENIX.

“PASS teaches cooperation, teamwork and leadership- values we call 'Panther Pride'. Our school is grateful for this wonderful opportunity.”

Principal Jeff Geyer, Papago School

AFTER SCHOOL TENNIS

Our program is available to 4th - 8th graders in partner schools within the greater Phoenix area.

PASS provides well-trained instructors, all the necessary equipment and a healthy snack to ensure student success.

LIFE SKILLS EDUCATION

We seek to empower our students in order to better themselves as individuals. We define and discuss terms like belief, respect, commitment

As students grow and embrace our program, so does their self-esteem. Empowerment, plus education, leads to success.

PHOENIX PD "WAKE UP!"

Student Resource Officers encourage students in their Wake Up! club to earnestly try something they’ve never done before--learn to play the game of tennis.

Officers mentor students throughout the week and serve alongside them in many community service projects.

Their tagline says it all: "Building Trust. Building Relationships. Building Futures.”

SUN DEVIL BALL KIDS

Responsible students earn the right to be trained as ball kids, which requires significant commitment and training.

The Sun Devil Ball Kid program is the only one of its kind in the entire nation. It provides local kids with a unique tennis experience serving on court during Division 1 matches.

“I learned that if you try, you can accomplish new things and it will encourage you to try harder.”

- Julissa, Machan School (6th Grade)
