Serve and Return is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to positively impacting the lives of the underserved communities of Monroe and West Monroe as well the surrounding areas through the sport of tennis. We offer no-cost tennis lessons, scholarships, charity drives, community events and programs to shine a light on our youth and kind adults.
In the game of tennis each player "starts with love" your generous donation can help us continue to share love. Please consider making a contribution and help us share kindness to make a difference in the lives of our youth. Your donation will assist in purchasing tennis equipment and awarding scholarships for select high school seniors.

The program combines a free tennis clinic with the distribution of donated jackets to children in need, promoting both physical activity and warmth during colder seasons.
Serve, Return and Chill is a free summer tennis clinic hosted by Serve and Return of Louisiana that introduces youth to the game of tennis in a fun and welcoming environment. Participants learn basic tennis skills, sportsmanship, and teamwork while staying active and building confidence.

The program promotes healthy lifestyles, positive youth development, and community engagement through the sport of tennis.
Backpack giveaways and fun on court training on techniques before school is back in session. Off the court there will be line dance classes and local vendor shops etc.

Our mission is to create a positive impact in the lives of the youth and local communities, by promoting active lifestyles, and creating lasting change through community service and the sport of tennis.
