This program is designed to offer the ASD child with some prior tennis experience the chance to explore more about the game in a small group setting. Together with Love Serving Autism, The Parker Foundation is thrilled to partner with Racquet Club of Cocoa Beach (RCCB), a USTA Florida managed facility, to bring this program to our families! We plan to meet on Fridays 5-6pm at RCCB so we have our own space within the facilty. All current USTA Safe Play guidelines intended to prevent the spread of COVID-19 will be followed. We anticipate a maximum enrollment of 10 children. Siblings are welcome! Staff for our program include local tennis professionals and junior tennis players who serve as Tennis Buddies. All equipment is provided, and children with racquets already are welcomed to bring their own! Who can I contact with questions?

As parents of both a child with Autism and a typically developing child as well, Co-Founders Ted and Melissa Parker established the organization in 2015 inspired to create family-centered programs that would positively support early intervention. The mission of the foundation is to bridge the gap in resources and programs available to families of children with Autism as well as to nurture a community of understanding and support to children with Autism and related disabilities and their families.
