This Spring, the Seattle Tennis and Education Foundation is offering free after school programming at Magnuson Park and we welcome grades 2nd-5th who qualify for free/reduced lunch. Each day will feature tennis and physical activity as well as unique enrichment and life skills programming to awaken curiosity, self-esteem, and to deepen learning. STEF delivers proven academic and athletic programming that foster self-sufficiency and help participants develop the skills and confidence to succeed in school and beyond. No prior tennis knowledge or experience is required. Enrichment programming includes modules in the arts, writing, science, field trips, guided discovery and much more, as well as tennis learning and play during the academic year.
