Love, Love Compton
Our Love, Love Compton program provides the at-risk youth of Compton with the opportunity to play and learn. We provide assistance on and off the tennis court with both tennis coaching and academic tutoring in 25 schools throughout Compton. We provide nets, racquets, balls and even safe footwear, removing the barriers to entry in what can be an expensive sport. We’ve also built and refurbished 50 tennis and mini-tennis courts giving the youth of Compton more spaces to play safely.
In the classroom, we work hand in hand with the Compton Unified School District and Superintendent Dr. Darin Brawley has described the program as the district’s “most successful and influential non-profit partnership.” The schools provide 40 teachers to tutor students in our program and allow them to achieve both on and off the court.
