This winter, the Seattle Tennis and Education Foundation is offering free after school programming at Magnuson Park to families that qualify for free/reduced lunch. We welcome grades 2nd-6th.

Wednesdays: Your child must have completed at least 6 weeks with STEF or had prior tennis experience. Please reach out to rylee@stef4youth.org if you have questions.

We will be limiting the enrollment, so please only sign up for the day(s) that your child plans to attend.

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. Prior tennis 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.
