The XXL Tennis Event hosted by Grassroots Tennis in Norwalk was an exciting and energetic day for our ACES & Academics family. Our players showed up ready to learn, compete, and represent the program with pride. Families enjoyed a full day of tennis clinics, skill building stations, and community engagement. ACES athletes demonstrated great sportsmanship, teamwork, and enthusiasm throughout the event. Several of our players won prizes, including a brand new Yonex racquet and ACES & Academics gear. The event highlighted the growth of our young athletes and the strong bond within our ACES community. We are proud of everyone who participated and grateful to Grassroots Tennis for hosting such a phenomenal experience. This event truly reflected what ACES & Academics is all about development, dedication, and family.

ACES & Academics had an unforgettable field trip to the International Tennis Hall of Fame in Rhode Island. Our scholars explored the museum, discovered the rich history of tennis, and learned how the sport has evolved through generations. The kids had fun, asked questions, and soaked up knowledge every step of the way. It was a powerful, inspiring experience and a reminder that our ACES scholars are always learning, always growing, and always rising.

Aces and Academics is heading to the US Open — where our kids get to witness world-class tennis, celebrate hard-earned achievements, and soak up inspiration from champions who match their passion on and off the court
