what we do

Serve It UP Tennis Academy was founded in 2010 by Todd and Lisa Upchurch.  They saw a need to give more kids access to tennis and learn the sport.  By partnering with schools, YMCAs and rec centers they have been able to fulfill this vision.  

“Tennis is an ideal physical education activity for improving wellness and fighting obesity in children.”
